<p align="left">Mutations in L-gulono-gama-lactone oxidase(GLO) gene in many vertebrate species caused the lack of expression of GLO, which leads to a loss of capability to produce vitamin C. As a result of this mutation, many species including human being developed their dependence on food source vitamin C.</p>

         <p align="left">Vitamin C has been playing a pivotal role in scavenging free radical and collagen synthesis. People with long-time insufficient ingestion of vitamin C, sailors for instance, could suffer from scurvy disease. To make matters worse, accumulation of free radical could be an important factor of aging.</p>

         <p align="left">The truth is, we lost the ability to provide an indispensable vitamin to ourselves. And here's what we are working around: can we find out a way to reactivate GLO gene and express functional GLO, hence pick up our long-lost magic? We've conducted cell-level experiments and evaluated their possible effects.</p>
