Universal Consciousness | Part IV of Consciousness: Evolution of the Mind (2021) Documentary

Posted by in categories: biological, education, life extension, neuroscience, robotics/AI, singularity

There’s only one Universal Consciousness, we individualize our conscious awareness through the filter of our nervous system, our “local” mind, our very inner subjectivity, but consciousness itself, the Self in a greater sense, our “core” self is universal, and knowing it through experience has been called enlightenment, illumination, awakening, or transcendence, through the ages.

Researchers make regenerative medicine breakthrough with volumetric 3D bioprinted livers

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

A research team from Utrecht University has successfully fabricated working livers using a newly developed ultrafast volumetric 3D bioprinting method.

By means of visible light tomography, the volumetric bioprinting method enabled the successful printing of miniature stem cell units by making the cells “transparent”, which meant they retained their resolution and ability to perform biological processes.

Printed in less than 20 seconds, the liver units were able to perform key toxin elimination processes mimicking those that natural livers perform in our bodies, and could open new opportunities for regenerative medicine and personalized drug testing.

Biotracking, Age Reversal & Other Advanced Health Technologies | Lifespan with Dr. David Sinclair #8

Posted by in categories: biological, life extension, wearables

No he does not respond to the resveratrol challenges. Important here are the chapters concerning Resetting the Ageing Clock and Repeatable Ageing Reversal.


In the final episode of this season, Dr. David Sinclair and Matthew LaPlante focus on current and near-future technologies relevant to health and aging. In addition to discussing the utility of wearable sensors and biological age measurements, they highlight innovative research aimed at reversing biological age. The societal effects of therapies that successfully extend healthspan and/or lifespan are also considered.

£3 Million Funding For Research Into Technology That Could Cure Heart Failure

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, life extension

Eight cutting-edge heart failure projects are set to receive millions of pounds’ worth of funding from the British Heart Foundation (BHF) this year, with the money raised, fittingly enough, by the London Marathon.

Longevity. Technology: Heart disease is the world’s greatest killer, with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) taking an estimated 17.9 million lives each year [1]. With organs for transplant in short supply, the focus is turning to regenerative medicine – getting the heart to repair itself – and the BHF is planning to fund eight projects all aimed at finding ways to cure heart failure. Given that a picture paints a thousand words, BHF has made the smart move of showcasing this regenerative research through a stunning set of images that shows the Foundation’s desire to not just ameliorate the symptoms of heart disease, or to extend patients’ lives, but to cure heart disease by regenerating, regrowing or replacing damaged cells and tissues.

“Heart failure is a debilitating condition that dramatically affects the lives of almost 1 million people in the UK,” commented Professor Metin Avkiran, BHF Associate Medical Director. “BHF-funded research has spear-headed treatments to give people with heart failure longer, healthier lives, but there is no cure. Regenerative medicine offers that hope.

Best Eye Vitamins

Posted by in category: life extension

It’s not a new fact that with age comes several problems, especially if you don’t take care of yourself. This applies to eyesight as well; as you grow old, the chances of you facing vision-related problems are high. And unfortunately, some people do suffer from one or more vision-related issues.

But there is a way in which this problem can be overcome. Several supplements are available to help you improve your vision, and they can help you address vision-related issues in a much more efficient manner. There are several vision-related problems, and likewise, there are supplements that tackle multiple vision problems and provide you with relief.

But the harsh truth is that not every supplement is made the same, meaning not all supplements are safe to use. This is the main reason why people are a little skeptical about purchasing any kind of dietary supplement.

Tracking Biomarkers of Aging

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, chemistry, life extension

The basics for tracking include blood biomarkers that have been studied for 50 – 100+ years, depending on the biomarker. Most of these biomarkers are commonly measured at a yearly physical, and are relatively cheap (35 $USD for the standard chemistry panel and complete blood count).

Nano-engineered sealer leads to more durable concrete

Posted by in categories: engineering, life extension, nanotechnology

A nanomaterials-engineered penetrating sealer developed by Washington State University researchers is able to better protect concrete from moisture and salt—the two most damaging factors in crumbling concrete infrastructure in northern states.

The novel sealer showed a 75% improvement in repelling water and a 44% improvement in reducing salt damage in laboratory studies compared to a commercial sealer. The work could provide an additional way to address the challenge of aging bridges and pavements in the U.S.

“We focused on one of the main culprits that compromises the integrity and durability of concrete, which is moisture,” said Xianming Shi, professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering who led the work. “If you can keep concrete dry, the vast majority of durability problems would go away.”
