Bill Andrews — Anti-aging
A nice telomerase overview. I’m spoiling the end: “I think it’d be great if the cure for aging came out of the land of the hobbits.”
Dr. Bill Andrews is the creator of TAM-818, the world’s most powerful anti-aging active ingredient. TAM-818 is only found in One Truth 818 serum. For more information or to purchase visit http://www.tam818.com/
William Henry “Bill” Andrews, Ph.D. is an American molecular biologist and gerontologist whose career has centered on searching for a cure for human aging. Andrews is the founder and president of the biotechnology company Sierra Sciences. In 1997, he led the team at Geron Corporation that was the first to successfully identify human telomerase.

Squeezing cells into stem cells
EPFL scientists have developed a new method that turns cells into stem cells by “squeezing” them. The method paves the way for large-scale production of stem cells for medical purposes.
Human-Animal Chimera
What do you think of this new idea?
Flying in the face of a funding ban, research centers move ahead with developing human-animal chimeras.

The health risks of spending a year in outer space
As we explore opportunities in space to colonized or even expand business opportunities in space such as mining, and discovering materials that could be brought back to earth to use; it will be important for scientists and researchers to look at ways in how technologies like CRISPR, nanobots, synthetic implants, etc. can assist in mitigating the impacts on humans in space.
A new report commissioned by NASA highlights many of the risks connected with one of the agency’s major goals: putting more humans in space for longer periods of time.
Major Mouse Testing To Fast Track Regenerative Medicine
The MMTP is testing Senolytics in an ambitious large scale mouse longevity project.
The goal of regenerative medicine is both quantity and quality whilst traditional medicine has provided quantity often at the cost of quality. Regenerative medicine proposes to reduce the frailty and decline of old age by rejuvenating the body and promoting healthy longevity. With advances in technology, research and our understanding of the aging process, this is now becoming a realistic proposition.
Some drugs already tested have been found to increase mouse lifespan such as Metformin 1,2 and Rapamycin 3.These drugs are even now moving into human clinical trials to see if the above benefits translate into people. However, there are many more promising substances that have never been properly tested and we do not know if they could extend healthy lifespan.
How fast science advances depends on how much quality research is being conducted. Currently there are few high impact studies investigating lifespan initiated each year and with so many promising substances to test this is all a painfully slow process. The Major Mouse Testing Project [MMTP] is aiming to help by rapidly testing compounds and speeding up progress.
5 Biotech Predictions for 2016
Truly a potential bummer for Car-T as a result of the risk in creating immune defiancy disease such as CRS.
A win and loss for marijuana, a big advance in Alzheimer’s disease, and the next big thing are among some of the market-moving things I expect to see happen this year.
