Will Virgin Galactic’s Richard Branson beat Jeff Bezos as the first billionaire in space?
Boston Dynamics’ Spot could be going to Mars. The dog-like robot is now equipped with AI and could be sent on missions to autonomously explore caves.
In this video, Drs Irina and Mike Conboy talk about their theory of why we age and introduce Neutral Blood Exchange, which came from their original parabiosis experiments documented in a 2005 paper.
Our guests today are Drs. Irina and Michael Conboy of the Department of Bioengineering at the University of California Berkeley. their discovery of the rejuvenating effects of young blood through parabiosis in a seminal paper published in Nature in 2005 paved the way for a thriving field of rejuvenation biology. The Conboy lab currently focuses on broad rejuvenation of tissue maintenance and repair, stem cell niche engineering, elucidating the mechanisms underlying muscle stem cell aging, directed organogenesis, and making CRISPR a therapeutic reality.

Would you eat chicken nugget grown in a bioreactor (and not the old fashioned inside-a-chicken way)? What if that nugget was as cheap as the old kind? A fascinating short film from our friends at @Freethink.

Great exclusive interview by longevity expert, PhD. Professor, Systems Biology. Director, Chronic Metabolic and Rare Diseases Systems Biology Initiative (ChroMe RaDSBIn) facebook.com/LifetimeTrustnet/posts/1021975448543419
Dr. Ancha Baranova interview on longevity and Covid technologies.
She discovered many biomarkers for chronic liver diseases, cancer and other illnesses, a biosynthesis of the melanin in human adipose, two novel properties of cell-free DNA, and a variety of novel functions for known biomolecules.
The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources said that last week it used planes to stock fish in about 200 lakes that are inaccessible by vehicle. The division said it has aerial-stocked fish since the 1950s and that they have a high survival rate. https://nyti.ms/2ULOgHD
