New research suggests adverse childhood experiences accelerate the biological processes of aging

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, life extension

“Harms in early life can take many forms, and can lead to health consequences many years down the road. What our study shows is that these consequences manifest as perturbations to multiple biological systems, which can be measured from biomarkers in blood.”…


Individuals exposed to adverse childhood experiences tend to be biologically older than their counterparts, according to new research published in the scientific journal Psychoneuroendocrinology.

Adverse childhood experiences refer to a set of potentially traumatic events that occur before adulthood. These experiences include various forms of abuse and neglect, witnessing intimate partner violence, parental death or serious illness, parental divorce or separation, and psychiatric illness of a family member. Biological aging, on the other hand, refers to the accumulation of damage and loss of function to cells, tissues and organs.

Cognitum S2 Episode 6 // Epigenetic Rejuvenation

Posted by in categories: genetics, life extension

Things I learned:

1. Various tissues will have different safe zones of rejuvenation before they become pluripotent but we could make tissue specific treatments and treat them separately without effecting others.

Scientists develop new ‘biohybrid composite’ for 3D printing lifelike artificial skin

Posted by in categories: 3D printing, biotech/medical, cyborgs, life extension

Researchers at Cornell University have come up with a novel biomaterial that can be used to create artificial skin capable of mimicking the behavior of natural human tissues.

Thanks to its unique composition, made up of collagen mixed with a ‘zwitterionic’ hydrogel, the team’s biohybrid composite is said to be soft and biocompatible, but flexible enough to withstand continued distortion. While the scientists’ R&D project remains ongoing, they say their bio-ink could one day be used as a basis for 3D printing scaffolds from patients’ cells, which effectively heal wounds in-situ.

“Ultimately, we want to create something for regenerative medicine purposes, such as a piece of scaffold that can withstand some initial loads until the tissue fully regenerates,” said Nikolaos Bouklas, one of the study’s co-lead authors. “With this material, you could 3D print a porous scaffold with cells that could eventually create the actual tissue around the scaffold.”

New research uncovers key factor controlling ear development at early stages

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, life extension

A new King’s-led study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, has found that a single factor (a protein coding gene known as Sox8) can make non-ear cells adopt ear character during embryo development. The findings not only demonstrate how cell fate decisions are regulated in the embryo but may also inform reprogramming and regenerative strategies for the ear developmental malformations.

Responsible for the sense of hearing and balance, the inner ear is critically important for communication with the environment. In humans, developmental malformations of the ear have life-long consequences, while age-related hearing defects affect a large proportion of the population. Currently, there are no therapies that involve biological approaches—only hearing aids or , as how the ear normally develops is not fully understood and many of the controlling factors are poorly characterized.

Researchers from the Faculty of Dentistry, Oral and Craniofacial Sciences at King’s, in collaboration with colleagues from the Francis Crick Institute, explored the earliest steps in ear development to determine what causes cells to become ear cells, and what makes them different from cells which form other sense organs.

Imagining the Future: The Transformation of Humanity | Peter Diamandis | TEDxLA

Posted by in categories: bioengineering, genetics, life extension, neuroscience, Peter Diamandis, singularity

In this landmark talk, Peter Diamandis shares how we are rapidly heading towards a human-scale transformation, the next evolutionary step into what he calls a “Meta-Intelligence,” a future in which we are all highly connected — brain to brain via the cloud — sharing thoughts, knowledge and actions.
He highlights the 4 driving forces as well as the 4 steps that is transforming humanity.

In 2014 Fortune Magazine named Peter Diamandis as one of the World’s 50 Greatest Leaders.

2045: A New Era for Humanity

Posted by in categories: economics, government, life extension, robotics/AI, transhumanism

http://2045.com http://gf2045.com.
In February of 2012 the first Global Future 2045 Congress was held in Moscow. There, over 50 world leading scientists from multiple disciplines met to develop a strategy for the future development of humankind. One of the main goals of the Congress was to construct a global network of scientists to further research on the development of cybernetic technology, with the ultimate goal of transferring a human’s individual consciousness to an artificial carrier.

2012–2013. The global economic and social crises are exacerbated. The debates on the global paradigm of future development intensifies.

Lab Results

Posted by in categories: business, life extension

MAUI, Hawaii—(BUSINESS WIRE)—Extended Longevity, a Hawaii-based longevity company focused on reversing the biomarkers of aging, announces that new test results show the regrowth of telomeres in a 75 year old man to the equivalent of a 10 year old (a 65 year reversal), using the SpectraCell Laboratories Telomere test. Thus, this demonstrates that his aging process, as represented by telomere biomarker tests, has significantly regenerated.
