maintenance, repair
METHODS TO STOP

• Methods available for us in the future:
• Regenerative Medicine
• Examples: Stem cell therapy, genetic modification(gene therapy)
ORGAN TRANSPLANTATION
• is the moving of an organ from one body to another or from a
donor site to another location on the person's own body, to
replace the recipient's damaged or absent organ
• Cons: Compatibility issues, organ rejection.

• is the use of stem cells to treat or prevent a disease or condition.
• Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(bone marrow transplant)
• Most commonly used to cure leukemia.
ORGAN PRINTING

• They still have some benefits.
• However, when our health is in a bad condition, or the outer environment, such
as our diet, is not good for our body.
• Redox Homeostasis is very important.
• Should we breathe?
• Oxygen Deficiency increases the formation of free radicals!
THE HARM
• Peroxidation of lipids.

• Destroy the enzymes of metabolism.
• Cause the inflammation.
HOW TO REDUCE?
1. Reduce the formation of free radicals.
2. Remove or decrease the free radicals that have been produced.
• Vitamin C&E、Carotenoid、 Tea polyphenol (TP) 、Catechin、Grape
