I'm a new member - so I hope I've posted this in the right place.

Recent findings:

It all begins with a kiss -- the KiSS 1 gene, which produces a protein in the hypothalamus. When the protein connects with its receptor, the GPR54 gene, puberty begins.

Well, mine probably did start with a kiss anyways...
I wonder if it'll get "abused" to cure aging effects, since puberty is known to increase hGH which is the pseudo fountain of youth of today... and for free :D
