Stanford Study Reveals Fiber’s Hidden Anti-Cancer Superpowers

Fiber is a crucial component of a healthy diet, yet fewer than 10% of Americans consume the recommended daily amount. However, new research from Stanford Medicine may provide a compelling reason to increase intake of fiber-rich foods like beans, nuts, cruciferous vegetables, and avocados.

The study, recently published in Nature Metabolism

Nature Metabolism is a peer-reviewed journal published by the Nature Portfolio, focusing on high-impact research in metabolic biology. The journal covers a broad range of topics including cellular metabolism, systemic metabolism, disease, physiology, and metabolic interactions. It aims to provide insights into how metabolism influences health, disease, and aging, and serves as a platform for fundamental and translational research in metabolic science.

New facility could allow humans to freeze their bodies and outlive an apocalypse

Imagine you could pause your life and wake up in the future.

A new groundbreaking facility could allow humans to freeze their bodies and potentially wake up in the future.

The company behind the project, TimeShift, describes itself as the world’s first AI-powered cryopreservation facility. It combines advanced AI technology with novel cryopreservation techniques.

Eli Mohamad & Kai Micah Mills — Advancing Frontiers Of Cryopreservation & Biological Replacement

Biological replacement and cryopreservation to significantly extend human lifespans — eli mohamad & kai micah mills — hydradao and cryodao.

Eli Mohamad is a prominent figure in the biotech, space, and AI industries who has co-founded several successful startups and has a real passion for groundbreaking ventures that focus on the development of futuristic technologies.

Currently as a Core Team Member at CryoDAO (https://www.cryodao.org/), a decentralized organization focused on sourcing and funding research in cryopreservation, Eli continues to work at the forefront of innovative technologies and applies his extensive experience in biotechnology and innovative projects to advance novel cryopreservation technologies and their various applications, from critical tissue and organ preservation, to cryo-sleep and suspended animation for space exploration.

Eli has also been involved in setting up another decentralized organization called HydraDAO (https://hydradao.org/) which is focused on funding and incubating biological replacement research to significantly extend human lifespan and will be looking at everything from Limb Regeneration, Organ Bioprinting and Xenotransplantation, to Progressive Brain Replacement, head/brain transplants, and even whole body replacement via non sentient cloning.

Throughout his career, Eli has held various leadership positions in cutting-edge companies including as Co-founder and Chief Business Officer at X-Therma Inc., a company focused on complex tissue preservation; Advisor and Chief Business Officer at Rimac Automobili, working on high-performance electric vehicles; CFO/CBO at Insilico Medicine, Inc., as well as Co-founder of Organ Preservation Alliance, a non-profit organization dedicated to the future of organ banking, Orphidia Ltd., a medical diagnostics company, and Walkmore, a data science company.

Slimming significantly alters your microbiome and brain activity

Brain scans show fasting literally rewires your brain:

Brain scans of participants in a recent study showed changes in brain areas that regulate appetite and addiction, including the inferior frontal orbital gyrus. At the same time, tests of stool samples and blood showed changes in the gut bacteria, especially with types called Coprococcus comes and Eubacterium hallii.

The research was published in Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology.

The team emphasizes that, not only did the participants lose weight, averaging 7.6 kilograms (16.8 pounds), but there were also noticeable changes in the composition of their gut bacteria, and additional changes in brain regions.

These changes were linked to less activity in a part of the brain called the left inferior frontal orbital gyrus, which helps control food intake. During intermittent fasting, certain beneficial gut bacteria may become more prevalent, producing compounds that influence brain activity related to food intake and impulse control.

This suggests a complex, bidirectional communication between the gut and the brain, where altering the gut environment through fasting can lead to changes in brain function, potentially affecting eating behaviors and decision-making processes related to diet. Intermittent fasting offers multiple benefits, including weight loss, improved metabolic health, enhanced brain function, and potential longevity, by altering eating patterns to incorporate regular periods of fasting.

Scientists engineer nanostructured surfaces hostile to bacteria but friendly to cells

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have created nanostructured alumina surfaces which are strongly antibacterial but can be used to culture cells. They found that anodic porous alumina (APA) surfaces prepared using electrochemistry in concentrated sulfuric acid had unprecedented resistance to bacterial growth, but did not hamper cell cultures.

The work is published in the journal Langmuir.

The team’s technology promises to have a big impact on regenerative medicine, where high quality cell cultures without bacterial contamination may be produced without antibiotics.

Nithin Kamath shares 92-year-old US professor’s advice on longevity in viral post

Zerodha co-founder Nithin Kamath triggered a conversation online after he shared the wisdom of 92-year-old US-based mathematician and professor Edward Thorp on longevity on social media.

In a post on X, Kamath praised Thorp’s advice, calling it “brilliant” and stating, “This is the only longevity expert you need to listen to.”

Thorp’s message delves into a balanced approach to living a long and healthy life. His philosophy combines “defence,” which involves mitigating risks like cardiovascular diseases through diet, exercise, and regular check-ups, and “offence,” with an emphasis on exercise as a “magic bullet” to extend both lifespan and health span.
