The Hallmarks of Aging: Mitochondrial dysfunction | LifeXtenShow
Posted by Paul Battista in categories: biotech/medical, life extension
Your cells teem with small machinery and devices of all kinds, including teeny tiny batteries called mitochondria. Just like real batteries, they can malfunction, but replacing them isn’t that easy. In this episode, Veera explains what happens to our microbatteries with aging and what we can do about it.

Breakthrough COVID-19 treatment developed by UAE stem cell center with promising initial results
Posted by Lon Anderson in categories: biotech/medical, economics
The new coronavirus invades the body through a spike protein that lives on the surface of virus cells. The S protein, as it’s called, binds to a receptor called angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) on a healthy cell’s surface. Once attached, the cells fuse and the virus is able to infect the healthy cell.
ACE2 receptors are present on cells in many places throughout the body, and especially in the lungs. Cells in the lungs are also some of the first to encounter the virus, since the primary form of transmission is thought to be breathing in droplets after an infected person has coughed or sneezed.
That’s why it was necessary to upgrade Stem Cell Neurotherapy for COVID-19 by adding T-Cells, B-Cells, and Natural Killer Cells to the arsenal. It was not enough to just regenerate new lung cells to replace the lung cells infected by COVID-19, but the COVID-19 Virus Cells had to be attacked and destroyed in order to prevent them from invading and infecting the newly regenerated lung cells.

You CAN live forever… as long as you are a flatworm, say scientists
Posted by Quinn Sena in category: life extension
Circa 2012
Forget expensive lotions and potions – the key to becoming immortal could be found in flatworms, scientists say.
The worms, which live in lakes and ponds, hold the remarkable ability to regenerate time and time again – effectively living forever.
