Part 5: Biology
The experts unearth the amazing breakthroughs that are transforming the resilience and strength of
the human body. Mark Evans joins the bio-prospectors in Central America exploring the untapped
reserves of the oceans for life-changing drugs; Aarathi Prasad meets the remarkable old people who
could hold the secret to a long and healthy life; and Robert Winston explores how our behaviour and
environment may be influencing the genes of future generations in ways we once thought impossible.
Astronaut and neurologist Roberta Bondar explores the new science of heart regeneration - scientists
in Dallas have discovered that baby mice can repair their own hearts; could this work for humans
too? And Richard Dawkins and Aarathi Prasad celebrate the achievements of synthetic biology and the
work of one man who has learnt how get E. Coli to produce oil. From the shores of the Pacific to the
ice storms of Canada, the programme explores how scientists are using the secrets of our cells to
change life as we know it.
