Keep exercising: New study finds it’s good for your brain’s gray matter
Posted by Paul Battista in categories: biotech/medical, life extension, neuroscience
Cardiorespiratory exercise—walking briskly, running, biking and just about any other exercise that gets your heart pumping—is good for your body, but can it also slow cognitive changes in your brain?
A study in Mayo Clinic Proceedings from the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases provides new evidence of an association between cardiorespiratory fitness and brain health, particularly in gray matter and total brain volume—regions of the brain involved with cognitive decline and aging.
Brain tissue is made up of gray matter and filaments called white matter that extend from the gray matter cells. The volume of gray matter appears to correlate with various skills and cognitive abilities. The researchers found that increases in peak oxygen uptake are strongly associated with increased gray matter volume.

Scientists Find Evidence a Strange Group of Quantum Particles Are Basically Immortal
Posted by Quinn Sena in categories: life extension, particle physics, quantum physics
Nothing lasts forever. Humans, planets, stars, galaxies, maybe even the Universe itself, everything has an expiration date. But things in the quantum realm don’t always follow the rules. Scientists have found that quasiparticles in quantum systems could be effectively immortal.
That doesn’t mean they don’t decay, which is reassuring. But once these quasiparticles have decayed, they are able to reorganise themselves back into existence, possibly ad infinitum.
This seemingly flies right in the face of the second law of thermodynamics, which asserts that entropy in an isolated system can only move in an increasing direction: things can only break down, not build back up again.

A new way to warm up frozen tissue could help with the organ shortage
Posted by Paul Battista in categories: biotech/medical, cryonics, life extension, nanotechnology
This technology may one day be used to revive patient suspended in cryonics.
A new way to warm up frozen tissue using tiny vibrating particles could one day help with the problem of organ shortages.
We know how to cool organs to cryogenic temperatures, which is usually below 320 degrees Fahrenheit. But the organs can’t be stored for long — sometimes only four hours for heart and lungs — because they get damaged when you try to warm them up. As a result, more than 60 percent of donor hearts and lungs aren’t transplanted. In a study published today in Science Translational Medicine, scientists used nanoparticles to warm up frozen tissue quickly and without damaging the organs. Within a decade, this could lead to being able to store entire organs in organ banks for a long period of time, the authors say.

Experts: Oversight needed for safety, efficacy of nutritional supplements
Posted by Paul Battista in categories: biotech/medical, food, life extension
VITAMINS-Nutrients have long been described as healers-Life extending amino acids-chemicals… As has been done in the past holds true presently. There are trained professionals who for one reason or another attack the vitamin industry.
(Many claiming that vitamins do nothing and are washed from the body???)
How then did niacin extraction and synthesizing and being put into foods help end many sicknesses??? Yes Niacin is listed as a vitamin and a medicine…

“We’re working on a cure for the grandest disease on the planet: biological ageing”
Posted by Paul Battista in categories: biotech/medical, information science, life extension
The great Elizabeth Parrish on ageing the most sinister disease on earth… I hate it when words are used to make aging sound like a normal sickness or a great sickness, Such as grandest??? Or most Important disease??? The decomposer disease that Woman-man has called natural aging all these years has been in reality a clandestine plague so complicated yet so easily seen by the naked eye if certain scholars-textbooks do not get in the way…
Aging is The Eukaryotic Cellular pandemic plague AEWR has named the Senesonic-Sensonic plague. A disease that causes all of our cells to age nearly at the same rate causing our cells to have to regenerate the day long or the body drops.

Drugs that fight inflammation may reverse brain aging
Posted by Paul Battista in categories: biotech/medical, life extension, neuroscience
When researchers gave mice drugs that fight brain inflammation, senile rodents showed fewer signs of cognitive decline and could better learn new things.
