Russian scientist seeks immortality, injects himself with 3.5-million-year-old bacteria
Posted by Shailesh Prasad in categories: biotech/medical, education, life extension
In the Holy Bible, Jesus Christ taught us how to attain eternal life. In John 6:71, for example, Jesus Christ said: “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”
A Russian scientist, however, believes that he can have eternal life through the power of science, more specifically through the power of 3.5-million-year-old bacteria.

Heat-triggered ‘grenades’ hit cancer
Posted by Aleksandar Vukovic in category: biotech/medical
Scientists have designed microscopic “grenades” that can explode their cancer-killing payload in tumours.
The team will present its findings at the National Cancer Research Institute conference next week.
They plan to use liposomes — tiny bubbles of fat which carry materials round the body — to release toxic drugs when their temperature is raised.

Sounds Gross, But Intestinal Worms Can Actually Be Good For You
Posted by Matthew Holt in categories: biotech/medical, life extension
Intestinal worms that can reduce inflammation. Could we GMO a probiotic worm to help reduce aging?
Intestinal worms have an incredibly bad reputation. The thought of them sneaking around inside our bodies and eating us from the inside is pretty unpleasant. But for decades, results coming out of lab after lab have shown that some kinds of helminths can be extremely beneficial to their host, and aren’t parasites at all.
Just 100 years ago, before toilets and running water were commonplace, everybody had regular exposure to intestinal worms. Thanks in part to modern plumbing, people in the industrialized world have now lost almost all of their worms, with the exception of occasional pinworms in some children.

Why Focusing On The Obesity Epidemic Distracts Us From The Aging Epidemic
Posted by Robert James Powles in categories: biotech/medical, health, life extension
Large amounts of precious resources are being spent on encouraging weight loss and healthy living. While the intention of trying to reinforce healthy living is laudable, the evidence is that our resources are being wasted on minimal benefits.
Society considers obesity a big threat that needs to be overcome, but being thin is seen as a panacea
The diseases caused by biological aging carry on incessantly taking the lives of 100 000 people every day. While age 87 is the most common age of death for people in the western world, little progress has occurred during the past decades.

A Possible Way to Cure Baldness
Posted by Maria Konovalenko in category: biotech/medical
Meanwhile there is something important going on in the fight against baldness.
As in the majority of tissues, the hair follicle has stem cells. There are two types of stem cells that are responsible for the continuous renewal of the follicles. The first type is called active stem cells and they start dividing quite easily. Stem cells of the second type are called quiescent and in case of the new hair growth they don’t start dividing as easily. At the same time, the new hair is based primarily on quiescent cells, which attracted close attention of researchers to these cells. At first people thought that baldness was due to this type of cells.
However, recent studies showed that bald men did have those quiescent cells in their follicles. The problem was that they didn’t divide at all and didn’t contribute to forming new hairs.
