Cellular aging: A basic paradox elucidated

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, genetics, life extension

In a study published in Nucleic Acids Research, the team of cancer researcher Francis Rodier, an Université de Montréal professor, shows for the first time that cellular senescence, which occurs when aging cells stop dividing, is caused by irreversible damage to the genome rather than simply by telomere erosion.

This discovery goes against the scientific model most widely adopted in the last 15 years, which is based on one principle: telomeres, caps located at the ends of chromosomes whose purpose is to protect genetic information, erode with each cell division. When they get too short, they tell the cell to stop dividing, thus preventing damage to its DNA. Made dormant, the cell enters senescence.

For this model to be valid, the inactivation of a single should be sufficient to activate the senescence program. Rodier’s laboratory and many others had already observed that several dysfunctional telomeres were necessary.

How This Pill Cures ALL Diseases — Hacking The Body with Protein Folding

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, life extension, robotics/AI

A futuristic Pill will soon have the ability to fix any issue with the Human body, cure any disease and even make you live longer. This advancement in Biology is made possible with the help of Artificial Intelligence in the form of Google’s Alphafold 2.0 which solved Protein Folding and created a huge medical database of all proteins for all scientists and researchers to use for free.

Protein folding is the physical process by which a protein chain is translated to its native three-dimensional structure, typically a “folded” conformation by which the protein becomes biologically functional. People like David Sinclair are using it to increase longevity and create future medicine and pills to give human actual superpowers.

LIVING FOREVER BY 2035 | New Aubrey De Grey Interview

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, government, life extension

To live forever. More and more scientists believe so and in a recent interview, Aubrey De Grey said that there’s a good chance for immortality by 2035. Young people on the other hand have a almost 100% certainty of living forever and never dying.

Reversing aging is no longer science fiction and will soon become a reality with advances in stem cell therapy and advanced injections that stop the aging process in young and old people. So what would a world without death look like? It’s definitely something the government has to look into.

10 EMERGING Technologies That Will Change The World

Posted by in categories: augmented reality, biotech/medical, Elon Musk, internet, life extension, robotics/AI

Today, we’re bringing you 10 EMERGING Technologies That Will Change The World. Better stick around for #1 to find out how Elon Musk may have plans to turn us all into human robots some day.
What’s up tech-heads and welcome to another episode of TechJoint! It really feels like we’re already living in the future every day. From 5G connectivity to self-driving cars being even more accessible, innovation is everywhere we look! It can sometimes be hard to imagine a world with even more innovation—a future world. What would it look like? What everyday problems would be solved? It’s a pretty good bet some technologies like artificial intelligence will be in our lives, playing important roles in the future of humankind. Other technologies may seem far fetched, unnecessary and frankly, unattainable. So buckle up, and let’s take a look at these 10 futuristic technologies that are going to change the world as we know it.

The human life span is theoretically limitless, a study suggests — adding fuel to a longstanding debate about our mortality

Posted by in category: life extension

Recent research suggests that our chance of death plateaus after we reach a certain age. But that doesn’t mean humans can live forever.

THIS PILL makes you Live Forever — The Government’s Longevity Project

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, genetics, government, life extension

The USA Government is secretly working on a real Anti Aging Pill which aims to extend peoples lifespan and improve their health. This new longevity research project even made Aubrey De Grey interested as he said in an interview. Although he’s working on other kinds of medication to make people live forever or at least to stop peoples aging.

Dr. David Sinclair’s main research interest is the epigenetics of aging, with a focus on epigenetic reprogramming of aging, NAD+ metabolism and sirtuins, and NAD+ precursors like NR and NMN. David Sinclair is also working on supplements that are supposed to slow down the aging process.

The Weird Future of Digital Immortality — AI-Preservation

Posted by in categories: biological, life extension, robotics/AI, transhumanism

Biological immortality is not enough for an immerging community of Transhumanists. They’re hoping for a different take on Mind Uploading to offer them immortality. The Digital Immortality Definition depends on the person you ask, but one things is for certain the future is going to be weird when it comes to people longing for longevity and the goal of stopping aging completely. Living inside a computer by mind uploading to live forever may actually become a reality very soon in 2021.

We Have Always Been Cyborgs: Professor Stefan Lorenz Sorgner — John Cabot University

Posted by in categories: bioengineering, biotech/medical, cyborgs, life extension, transhumanism

Professor Stefan Lorenz Sorgner talks about his new book, ‘We Have Always Been Cyborgs’. Find out more about the book: https://bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/we-have-always-been-cyborgs.

“With an encyclopaedic knowledge of transhumanism and a deep philosophical grounding, especially in Nietzschean thought, Stefan Sorgner tackles some of the most challenging ethical issues currently discussed, including gene editing, digital data collection, and life extension, with uncommon good sense and incisive conclusions. This study is one of the most detailed and comprehensive analyses available today. Highly recommended for anyone interested in transhumanist/posthumanist ideas and in these issues generally.” N. Katherine Hayles, University of California, Los Angeles.

Study links gene to cognitive resilience in the elderly

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, genetics, life extension, neuroscience

Many people develop Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia as they get older. However, others remain sharp well into old age, even if their brains show underlying signs of neurodegeneration.

Among these cognitively resilient people, researchers have identified and amount of time spent on intellectually stimulating activities as factors that help prevent dementia. A new study by MIT researchers shows that this kind of enrichment appears to activate a called MEF2, which controls a genetic program in the brain that promotes resistance to cognitive decline.

The researchers observed this link between MEF2 and cognitive resilience in both humans and mice. The findings suggest that enhancing the activity of MEF2 or its targets might protect against age-related dementia.
