New simulations zoom in on planets swallowed by their stars

Posted by in categories: food, life extension

You’ve likely heard the story by now: As the Sun grows old, it will swell up into a red giant. And as it expands, it will certainly swallow Mercury and Venus — and potentially Earth and even Mars — along the way.

This process, called planetary engulfment, is likely common across the galaxy, as aging stars eat up their own planets (and even companion stars or brown dwarfs). But astronomers still don’t understand exactly what happens to an unlucky planet that suddenly finds itself inside its parent star. Now, complex models called hydrodynamical simulations are shedding some light on the phenomenon, showing that factors such as a planet’s mass and the age of its star when it’s engulfed can have profound effects on what happens as the world is overtaken.

Transfusing blood from an old mouse to a younger mouse causes ageing

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, life extension

View insights.


Transfusing young mice with blood from older rodents quickly triggers ageing, suggesting that cellular ageing isn’t just a case of wear and tear.

There is a longstanding hypothesis that surgically connecting an old mouse with a young rodent causes a transfer of blood that de-ages the older animal. While this benefits the older mouse, the effects on the young donor rodent were less clear.

Transhumanists want to upload their minds to a computer. They really won’t like the result

Uploading your mind is not a pathway to immortality. Instead, it will create a possibly hostile digital doppelgänger.

How we can finally win the fight against aging | Aubrey De Grey | TEDxMünchen

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, life extension

For more information on Aubrey de Grey, please visit our website www.tedxmuenchen.de.

Dr. Aubrey de Grey is a biomedical gerontologist based Mountain View, California, USA, and is the Chief Science Officer of SENS Research Foundation, a California-based 501©(3) biomedical research charity that performs and funds laboratory research dedicated to combating the aging process. He is also Editor-in-Chief of Rejuvenation Research, the world’s highest-impact peer-reviewed journal focused on intervention in aging. He received his BA in computer science and Ph.D. in biology from the University of Cambridge. His research interests encompass the characterisation of all the accumulating and eventually pathogenic molecular and cellular side-effects of metabolism (“damage”) that constitute mammalian aging and the design of interventions to repair and/or obviate that damage.

Longevity sirtuin clinical trial teases promising results

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, life extension

New York’s Gorbunova Aging Research Center team is encouraged by frailty results from SIRT6 activator trial.


SIRT6, the so-called “longevity sirtuin” has been making rather a name for itself.

SIRT6 is a protein with an important job. It is vital for both normal base excision repair and double-strand break repair of DNA damage – damage that can lead to genomic instability, which ultimately contributing to aging. These repairs decline with age but can be boosted with SIRT6 [1].
