AgeX Therapeutics: Targeting Biological Ageing | Dr Michael D. West

Have not heard from Dr West in awhile. Two things stood out in this technical hour: Telomerase in gene therapy has never been properly developed, and their iTR technology has not had animal trials as they wait for funding.

In this #webinar, Dr Michael West, a bioentrepreneur and CEO of AgeX Therapeutics, discussed the work of AgeX Therapeutics, their mission and plan to extend human health and longevity, and exciting new #technologies that could combat #ageing and unlock cellular immortality.

Bill Andrews deep research to cure aging explained in 19 minutes (con S/T en Español)

In this video Bill Andrews summarizes in 19 minutes his extensive research on telomeres, aging, and his proposal to cure aging. Bill Andrews is an American molecular biologist and gerontologist, founder and CEO of the biotech company Sierra Sciences.

Bill Andrews summarizes in 19 minutes his extensive and prolific research on telomeres, aging, and the cure for aging.

The video, originally released by Bill Andrews in february 2022, among other things, covers in little less than 20 minutes the following:

1) Enlightening info about telomere shortening and its impact on aging.

2) Practical proposals to cure aging based on two different approaches to stop telomere shortening and actually enlarge them.

Applications of the amniotic membrane in tissue engineering and regeneration: the hundred-year challenge

The amniotic membrane (Amnio-M) has various applications in regenerative medicine. It acts as a highly biocompatible natural scaffold and as a source of several types of stem cells and potent growth factors. It also serves as an effective nano-reservoir for drug delivery, thanks to its high entrapment properties. Over the past century, the use of the Amnio-M in the clinic has evolved from a simple sheet for topical applications for skin and corneal repair into more advanced forms, such as micronized dehydrated membrane, amniotic cytokine extract, and solubilized powder injections to regenerate muscles, cartilage, and tendons. This review highlights the development of the Amnio-M over the years and the implication of new and emerging nanotechnology to support expanding its use for tissue engineering and clinical applications.

Inside Mark Zuckerberg’s plan to cure all diseases as he reveals views on death

BILLIONAIRE Mark Zuckerberg has revealed his thoughts on life and death in a recent podcast.

The Facebook founder and Meta Platforms CEO has plans to cure all diseases this century but has no desire to live forever.

Zuckerberg hasn’t had an ordinary life.

He founded Facebook when he was just 19 years old and became the youngest billionaire at just 23.

Universal Consciousness | Part IV of Consciousness: Evolution of the Mind (2021) Documentary

There’s only one Universal Consciousness, we individualize our conscious awareness through the filter of our nervous system, our “local” mind, our very inner subjectivity, but consciousness itself, the Self in a greater sense, our “core” self is universal, and knowing it through experience has been called enlightenment, illumination, awakening, or transcendence, through the ages.

Researchers make regenerative medicine breakthrough with volumetric 3D bioprinted livers

A research team from Utrecht University has successfully fabricated working livers using a newly developed ultrafast volumetric 3D bioprinting method.

By means of visible light tomography, the volumetric bioprinting method enabled the successful printing of miniature stem cell units by making the cells “transparent”, which meant they retained their resolution and ability to perform biological processes.

Printed in less than 20 seconds, the liver units were able to perform key toxin elimination processes mimicking those that natural livers perform in our bodies, and could open new opportunities for regenerative medicine and personalized drug testing.

Biotracking, Age Reversal & Other Advanced Health Technologies | Lifespan with Dr. David Sinclair #8

No he does not respond to the resveratrol challenges. Important here are the chapters concerning Resetting the Ageing Clock and Repeatable Ageing Reversal.

In the final episode of this season, Dr. David Sinclair and Matthew LaPlante focus on current and near-future technologies relevant to health and aging. In addition to discussing the utility of wearable sensors and biological age measurements, they highlight innovative research aimed at reversing biological age. The societal effects of therapies that successfully extend healthspan and/or lifespan are also considered.

£3 Million Funding For Research Into Technology That Could Cure Heart Failure

Eight cutting-edge heart failure projects are set to receive millions of pounds’ worth of funding from the British Heart Foundation (BHF) this year, with the money raised, fittingly enough, by the London Marathon.

Longevity. Technology: Heart disease is the world’s greatest killer, with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) taking an estimated 17.9 million lives each year [1]. With organs for transplant in short supply, the focus is turning to regenerative medicine – getting the heart to repair itself – and the BHF is planning to fund eight projects all aimed at finding ways to cure heart failure. Given that a picture paints a thousand words, BHF has made the smart move of showcasing this regenerative research through a stunning set of images that shows the Foundation’s desire to not just ameliorate the symptoms of heart disease, or to extend patients’ lives, but to cure heart disease by regenerating, regrowing or replacing damaged cells and tissues.

“Heart failure is a debilitating condition that dramatically affects the lives of almost 1 million people in the UK,” commented Professor Metin Avkiran, BHF Associate Medical Director. “BHF-funded research has spear-headed treatments to give people with heart failure longer, healthier lives, but there is no cure. Regenerative medicine offers that hope.
