We Can Live Forever Thanks to Technology Says Leading Anti-Aging Scientist

“If I can bring forward the defeat of aging even one day, I would have saved the lives of 110,000 people.” – Dr. Aubrey de Grey at EmTech Asia 2019.

The age-old quest for immortality was largely confined to the myths and legends of past civilizations until about just two decades back when telomerase, the active component for the gene that confers immortality to cells was successfully isolated in a science laboratory. That turned the tide on the entire conversation from whether aging could be treated, to how it could be treated.

Since then it has spawned a whole new medical field – ‘healthspan’ – where scientific research is conducted with the aim of extending healthy human lives for as long as hundreds and thousands of years, if not outright immortality. It is not surprising that the intensive research into anti-aging technologies has attracted financial backing from those who are interested in technological progress – the tech community, the likes of Google and even cryptocurrency tycoons such as Ethereum Founder, Vitalik Buterin, who donated $2.4 million worth of ether to the nonprofit foundation SENS Research Foundation, of which Dr Aubrey de Grey is the Chief Science Officer.

Telomere Lengthening: Curing all diseases including cancer & aging

My mission is to drastically improve your life by sharing how you can quickly break bad habits and build and keep new healthy habits. I read the books and do all the research and share my findings with you in my YouTube videos! Not a bad deal, eh?

This video is a book review of Telomere Lengthening: Curing all diseases including cancer & aging by Dr. Bill Andrews and Jon Cornell.

Dr. Bill Andrews commented on this book review shorting after it was uploaded to YouTube. Here’s Dr. Andrews’ comment: Great Review Brent!!! And, yes, I would love to do an interview with you. And, yes, I am coming out with a new book soon.
The most potent telomerase inducer, TAM818 (www.defytime.com) produces 16% of the amount of telomerase to stop telomere shortening.
Gene Editing is different than Gene Therapy (also called Gene Delivery). In our Gene Therapy (www.libellagt.com) we are delivering (not editing) the telomerase gene to human cells. Liz Parrish did Gene Therapy, not Gene Editing, though she does have big plans of doing Gene Editing also in the future.
My books are also available in other languages at www.defytime.com.
The reason that I wrote both books is to answer all the questions that people ask me when I speak on stage. It’s not meant to be a matter of opinion that needs scientific support. That is because most of what I say is not controversial at all. It is all widely accepted by the scientific community. Adding references would have just made the book more technical than I wanted. Nevertheless, the one chapter on “Telomerase Does Not Cause Cancer” is controversial and so, not only did I provide references, I provided a link so readers could read the full text scientific peer reviewed studies. Other than that chapter both books should be considered just aids to help others explain the field.
The fact that I didn’t include a biography of myself is because the book isn’t about me. I am not trying to promote myself. I am just trying to make the world aware of the field so that more people would take an interest in supporting it; whether it is my lab or others. For those that want to know more about me my bio can be found at https://www.sierrasci.com/bill-andrews-bio.
I sure hope Warren Buffet, Warren Buffet’s friend, or Dr. Peter Attia hear this book review!!!
Thanks Brent!!!!

A New Male Birth Control Pill is Being Tested. Here’s What to Know

A second male birth control pill succeeded in preliminary testing, suggesting that a new form of contraception may eventually exist.

The new pill, which works similarly to female contraception, passed initial safety tests and produced hormone responses consistent with effective birth control in 30 men, according to research presented by the Los Angeles Biomedical Research Institute and the University of Washington at the Endocrine Society’s annual meeting. (The study has not yet been published in a peer-reviewed journal.) It’s early days for the drug — which has not yet been submitted for approval by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) — but co-principal investigator Dr. Christina Wang, lead researcher at LA BioMed, says it’s an important step toward effective, reversible male hormonal contraception.

“In females you have many, many methods. You have the pill, you have the patch, you have the vaginal ring, you have intrauterine devices, injections,” Wang says. “In men there is nothing that is like hormonal contraception. The standard is not equal for the genders.”

NUI Galway to Lead €13 Million SFI Centre for Research Training in Genomics Data Science

NUI Galway will lead a new €13 million SFI Centre for Research Training in Genomics Data Science. The new Centre will train a generation of 100 highly skilled PhD graduates to harness the collective potential of genomics and data science to have transformative scientific, economic and societal impacts.

Announced recently by Minister Heather Humphreys TD Minister for Business, Enterprise, and Innovation, and Minister of State for Training, Skills, Innovation, Research and Development, John Halligan TD and Science Foundation Ireland, the Centre will be led by NUI Galway and will involve partners from UCD, TCD, RCSI and UCC.

A genome is an organisms complete set of DNA or genetic material and it contains all of the information needed to build and maintain that organism. Genomics is the branch of science that studies genomes to see how they direct the growth and function of cells and organisms and it is a key area of fundamental science with real-world impacts in areas from human health to agriculture and food production. In recent years the field of genomics has undergone a revolution, driven by new technologies that generate data on an enormous scale. In order to make sense of the large and complex datasets arising from analysis of genomes, we require highly trained data scientists, who can turn this data into useful information that can increase scientific understanding and enable us to harness the power of genomics to drive innovation and create real-world solutions.
