History of Earth

Posted by in category: life extension

Today we have the impression that our planet is a stable place, in exception of some natural disasters. But there was times earth was not a live-friendly place. A important condition for life is the presence of liquid water (maybe not everywhere). Land was inhabitated till the Ordovizium because of air Oxygen poverty.

Many Factors are changing the state of our planet. For first the sun which is increasing their radiation by ageing. This is evident because it shifts the inner bounder of the habitable zone away from sun. Another Problem is the ageing of earth and the decreasing of geological activities. This will reduce the exhaust of greenhouse gasses and so the outer border of habitable zone will shrink. Maybe after 500 Million years life on earth is no more possible, but just Pangea Ultimo will be a very hostile, deserted World. Later Water will evaporate, combinated with volcanic gases Earth will get a very dense athmosphere very Venus-like. This state will Keep for billions of year — a very sad end for our planet before Sun, after the collapse of hydrogen burning and a instable phase will finally inflate to a red giant. It’s not sure if earth will be absorbed but otherwise it would be a devastated, lonely planet travelling through space… Have you ideas for another Video — write it in the coments — best ideas will be realized… I also make gaming-Videos about Amazing-Frog and Minecraft, my Server https://minewind.com

Understanding Senescence

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, life extension

Dr. Campisi has been at the forefront of studying cellular senescence for decades, revealing the mysteries of these not-exactly-dead cells and their role in many diseases of aging. In this episode, she joins her colleague Gordon to discuss the characteristics and function of senescent cells, as well as promising interventions on the horizon. Judy also describes how to get lucky in science by being prepared to see the unexpected.

Magnetic field tech captures the ‘song’ of a drug

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

Magnetic fields are all around us. They exist whenever there is electric current and have been used in various aspects of medicine for decades. Today, magnetic fields are used in applications including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), bone fracture repair, wound healing and pain reduction.

Taking things a step further, US startup EMulate Therapeutics has developed a unique magnetic field technology that has been shown to replicate the effect of drugs in humans and animal models – all without the presence of chemicals. Having spun-out companies in cancer, pain management and beyond, the company is seeking partners for longevity applications of its technology.

Longevity. Technology: The concept behind EMulate’s approach is mind-boggling. The company “records” the electromagnetic signature of specific molecules and is then able to use those recordings to effect changes in cellular behaviour, without using chemicals. In its most advanced programme, EMulate’s technology has completed feasibility clinical trials for adults and children with terminal brain cancer, using a recording derived from chemotherapy drug paclitaxel. We caught up with EMulate’s CEO Chris Rivera to find out more.
