Senesco Technologies, Inc. is a U.S. biotechnology company,
headquartered in New Brunswick, NJ. Senesco has initiated preclinical
research to trigger or delay cell death in mammals (apoptosis) to determine
if the technology is applicable in human medicine. Accelerating apoptosis
may have applications to development of cancer treatments. Delaying
apoptosis may have applications to certain diseases inflammatory and
ischemic diseases. Senesco takes its name from the scientific term for the
aging of plant cells: senescence. Delaying cell breakdown in plants extends
freshness after harvesting, while increasing crop yields, plant size and
resistance to environmental stress. The Company believes that its
technology can be used to develop superior strains of crops without any
modification other than delaying natural plant senescence. Senesco has
