Josh Mitteldorf on programmed aging

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, health, mathematics

Irina Conboy, Michael Conboy and Josh Mitteldorf discuss one of the central questions in aging research: is aging an active process of the body or is aging a passive process of damage accumulation? See the whole debate on our YouTube Channel: @HealesMovies Josh Mitteldorf, PhD, runs the blog “Aging Matters” (https://joshmitteldorf.scienceblog.com/) and is a consultant in mathematical modeling and creative data analysis. His research areas include evolutionary ecology, biology of aging, and the epidemiology of COVID-19. On the field of aging research, he has published two books,” Cracking The Aging Code”, co-written with Dorion Sagan (https://www.amazon.com/Cracking-Aging-Code-Science-Growing/d…atfound-20 and “Aging is a Group-Selected Adaptation” (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bs0faQEV3T9cu-Eq079-e5bIGgMwNH08/view).

Molecular analysis confirms T. Rex’s evolutionary link to birds

Putting more meat on the theory that dinosaurs’ closest living relatives are modern-day birds, molecular analysis of a shred of 68-million-year-old Tyrannosaurus rex protein — along with that of 21 modern species — confirms that dinosaurs share common ancestry with chickens, ostriches, and to a lesser extent, alligators.

The work, published this week in the journal Science, represents the first use of molecular data to place a non-avian dinosaur in a phylogenetic tree that traces the evolution of species. The scientists also report that similar analysis of 160,000-to 600,000-year-old collagen protein sequences derived from mastodon bone establishes a close phylogenetic relationship between that extinct species and modern elephants.

Tweaking the beak: Retracing the bird’s beak to its dinosaur origins, in the laboratory

Posted by in category: futurism

Year 2015 😗😁


New Haven, Conn. — Scientists have successfully replicated the molecular processes that led from dinosaur snouts to the first bird beaks.

Using the fossil record as a guide, a research team led by Yale paleontologist and developmental biologist Bhart-Anjan S. Bhullar and Harvard developmental biologist Arhat Abzhanov conducted the first successful reversion of a bird’s skull features. The scientists replicated ancestral molecular development to transform chicken embryos in a laboratory into specimens with a snout and palate configuration similar to that of small dinosaurs such as Velociraptor and Archaeopteryx.

Neuralink’s First Brain Implant Patient Now Beats Friends in Video Games

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, computing, Elon Musk, neuroscience

Neuralink’s first human patient has become so adept at using the company’s brain implant that he can now beat other players at video games.

On Wednesday, Elon Musk’s company provided a progress update on Noland Arbaugh, who received a brain implant in January that lets him remotely control the cursor on a laptop.

In March, Neuralink revealed that Arbaugh was using the implant to play games including Chess, Civilization VI, and Mario Kart. In Wednesday’s update, the company reported that Arbaugh’s use of the implant has only improved over time.
