BioViva focuses on translating this research into therapies.
In the search to extend human lifespan and address age-related diseases, telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) stands out as a promising focus of research. This enzyme, known for its role in maintaining telomeres—the protective caps at the ends of chromosomes—offers potential pathways to combat ageing at a cellular level. BioViva, under the leadership of CEO Liz Parrish, is working to transform telomerase-based scientific breakthroughs into tangible therapies aimed at enhancing health and longevity.
The race to replace human workers continues in Big Tech, but not everyone is convinced it will happen so soon.
12 billion-year-old galaxies were 90% surrounded by glowing gas, igniting intense star formation.
In a monumental achievement for astronomy, scientists have, for the first time, observed a star explode in real time. The star in question, a red supergiant named SN 2020tlf, is located approximately 120 million light-years away. A team of researchers began studying the star more than 100 days before its violent collapse, using data from the University of Hawaii’s Pan-STARRS1 telescope and the W. M. Keck Observatory on Mauna Kea.
A new “molecular flashlight” technique allows non-invasive insight into brain pathologies, lighting up the future of neurological research. The probe can reach deep into the brain with minimal damage, earning its designation as a minimally invasive device. It emits an ultra-thin beam of light.
What if memories didn’t die with us? Scientists are exploring the tantalizing idea of extracting memories from the brains of deceased individuals—a concept that blurs the line between science and fiction. But how close are we to making this a reality? And what ethical dilemmas could arise if we succeeded?
