Texas man builds Atmospheric Water Generators for Flint — Spectrum News 1 WI
Posted by Quinn Sena in categories: futurism, sustainability
Moses West is a former Ranger. Four years ago he set out to change the world, one atmospheric water generator at a time. He created these to provide clean drinking water to communities in Flint, MI, The Bahamas and Puerto Rico. Get this, he doesn’t charge these residents one penny. So far, he’s created 12 of these AWGs. He currently has one of these generators planted in Flint. More of these machines are currently being manufactured in WI to transport to Flint in the near future. He found a few minutes to down with Spectrum News 1’s Michelle London.

New treatment under trial could restore brain cells in Parkinson’s
Posted by Quinn Sena in categories: biotech/medical, neuroscience
A series of clinical trials have tested an experimental treatment for Parkinson’s disease that uses a novel approach: administering the drug straight into the brain via implanted ports. The leading researchers believe this may be a “breakthrough” therapeutic strategy for neurological conditions.
Newly trialed therapy could launch a fresh chapter in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease.
In a new series of studies that culminated with an open-label trial (where participants were aware of what treatment they would receive), scientists have begun testing the effectiveness of a new treatment — and method of delivery — for Parkinson’s disease.

Circa 2017
The cells are converted by a small microchip, similar in size to a penny, which injects genetic code into skin cells, transforming them into other types of cell.

Skywater: The most abundant source of fresh water is the Earth’s atmosphere
Posted by Quinn Sena in category: futurism
When atmospheric humidity condenses, it falls as rain. Skywater® replicates this natural process of condensation by simulating the dew point, which allows it to make water continuously, even in low humidity conditions. This is Skywater®’s patented adiabatic distillation process.
Again replicating nature’s process, Skywater® generates ozone to purify the water. Ozone (O3), a natural occurring gas that is produced in nature when it rains, binds with water to eliminate bacteria and other impurities. Skywater® does this by pumping ozone through the water as it is collected. Unlike other water treatment methods such as chlorine, ozone leaves no taste.

Circulating Glucuronic Acid Is a Potential Aging Biomarker
Posted by Steve Hill in category: life extension
A recent study suggests that circulating glucuronic acid may be a useful predictor of both lifespan and healthspan in humans and mice.
What is glucuronic acid?
Glucuronic acid is a metabolite of glucose and is critical for the detoxification of xenobiotic substances. These are compounds that are not naturally produced, should not normally be in the body, or are present in higher concentrations than normal.
