New Map of Dark Matter Breaks Scientists’ Understanding of Physics

Posted by in categories: cosmology, physics

What they found was surprising. The new map, published on the preprint server arXiv, suggests that the huge structure of dark matter in the universe formed more slowly that previously believed — results that “appear to challenge current understanding of the fundamental laws of physics,” according to the press release.

Road Ahead

But before physicists throw out the rulebook, Hikage cautioned that the new map needs to be corroborated.

Major Clinical Trial Links High Blood Pressure And Mild Cognitive Impairment

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, neuroscience

A new study says lowering blood pressure doesn’t reduce the risk for dementia, but it does lower the impact of mild cognitive impairment (MCI), which could be the next best thing in the study of dementia prevention.

New Oxford-developed tool reads the life histories of cancer cells

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, genetics

Cancer is a complicated disease. Tumors are made up of many different types of cancer cells, and our current treatment techniques can’t always clear them all out. Now, a team of Oxford researchers has developed a way to track the genetic “life histories” of thousands of individual cancer cells at once, which may lead to more effective and personalized cancer treatments.

New Academy to Boost the Image of Life Extension

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, life extension

A collection of sixteen senior scientists have created an academy in Boston in order to showcase the important work currently being conducted on human aging and how researchers are developing ways to slow or even reverse it.

The Academy for Health and Lifespan Research is a nonprofit organization that will be organizing a series of forums at which researchers will share knowledge and research data, helping to improve the flow of information in this field.

The Academy will also be actively lobbying governments around the world to improve funding for aging research and to help improve regulatory pathways in ways that make it easier to develop therapies that target the aging processes in order to prevent age-related diseases.

We are happy to announce Dr. Dongsheng Cai, Professor at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, as a speaker for the 2019 Undoing Aging Conference

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, life extension

“Dongsheng’s fabulous work on the involvement of the hypothalamus in aging first came to my attention six years ago, as a result of a groundbreaking paper on the role of GnRH, and he spoke at the last Cambridge conference in 2013. His group’s research has since continued to make immense progress, including very recent advances, and I’m delighted that he has agreed to update us in Berlin”, says Aubrey de Grey.
