A Transhumanism future? — Anders Sandberg interview

I interviewed transhumanist thinker Anders Sandberg, research fellow at Oxford Universities Future of Humanity Institute. We discuss how the global transhumanist movement has changed, the potential political impact of technological revolutions and the debate around cryonics. Fairly new channel so very grateful for any subscribers smile

My interview with Anders Sandberg, a prominent transhumanist thinker and research fellow at the Future of Humanity Institute at Oxford University.

We discuss how the transhumanist movement has changed, how it should engage in politics, whether pre-natural death cryogenics should be allowed and how long humans could live for amongst other things. Hope you enjoy!

Clinical trials of Fisetin in a person with autoimmune thyroiditis

Senolitics can be one of the first for one of the causes of ageing. One of the agents that have shown a senolytic effect is fisetin.

Because of the availability and safety of fisetin, we decided to conduct our experiments of this drug in a person with autoimmune thyroiditis. It is noteworthy that, unlike most trials, we focus not on chronic inflammation but on immune function.

For this test, we need your financial help.

In recent years, clinical trials of drugs that affect extracellular and intracellular damage leading to ageing of the body have begun. You can find more info here [1].

For example, with age, senescent cells accumulate in our body. They cannot perform their functions normally, their abnormal metabolism is the cause of chronic inflammation, which plays an important role in ageing.

Relatively recently, senolitics, substances that selectively induce apoptosis (lead to programmed death) of senescent cells, have begun to be studied. Their studies have shown that when senescent cells are destroyed in old mice, they begin to look younger, and the function of their body improves.

Scientists find toolkit to aid repair of damaged DNA

March 9 (UPI) — Scientists have developed a technique for repairing damaged DNA. The breakthrough, published this week in the journal Nature Communications, could pave the way for new therapies for cancer and neurodegenerative disorders.

The accumulation of DNA damage is responsible for aging, cancer and neurological diseases like motor neuron disease, also known as ALS.

Until now, scientists have struggled to find ways to repair this kind of damage. However, researchers have discovered a new protein called TEX264 that can combine with other enzymes to find and destroy toxic proteins that bind to DNA and trigger damage.

Spirituality & Life Extension | Pneumanosophy Academy

Hi everyone, thanks for the add. Good to be part of the group. I’ve recently done a video exploring the spiritual implications of radical life extension — which may interest some of you.

Spirituality & Life Extension. In this video I explore modern life and spirituality, in the light of radical life extension, i.e slowing ageing, enhancing longevity, and what that might mean for us in terms of spirituality and well-being. Do you you would continue to be spiritual if you had another healthy century ahead of you?

Ending Aging

Scientists who study the biology of Aging agreed that we would someday be able to slow down the aging process substantially.

Dr. Aubrey de Grey, Chief Science Officer at SENS Research Foundation and VP of New Technology Discovery at AgeX Therapeutics believes that the critical biomedical technology required to eliminate aging derived debilitation and death is now within reach.

In his book “Ending Aging” he and his research assistant Michael Rae described the details of this biotechnology. They explained that the Aging of the human body, just like the Aging of manmade machines, results from an accumulation of various types of damage. As with manmade machines, this damage can periodically be repaired, leading to the indefinite extension of the machines fully functional lifetime just as is routinely done with classic cars.

The Future is Now. Biomedical advances that will change the human body

Dreams of human immortality may remain so, but extending our lives beyond 100, even 150 years, can soon become a reality. ‘The Future is Now’ explores ground-breaking technology that might help us to slow down the ageing process and overcome our physical limitations.

3D-printing of brand new human organs, controlling bionic prosthetics with your mind, or invading your body with disease-fighting microrobots. Hosts Kate and Talish bring you the latest developments in biomedical engineering.

Learn what artificial organs have to do with gravity, or see how the world appears to blind people who have had their vision restored with bionic eyes and a chip. Hear from researchers and futurists about their predictions and warnings regarding the future of science.
