What lobsters can teach us about immortality

From 2022, but an interesting look at Lobsters, and list of animals semi-immortal, tortoises, greenland sharks, jellyfish, etc…

Could the key to lobsters’ longevity slow down our biological clocks?

No one likes the thought of getting old, but it seems to be an inevitable part of life. Most species grow, develop and repair damage to their bodies until a certain point in adulthood. After this, the body becomes less capable of repairing itself and slowly starts to accumulate damage.

But this doesn’t seem to apply to lobsters. They keep growing throughout their extraordinarily long lives – the oldest known lobsters captured have weighed over nine kilograms, with ages estimated between 120 and 140 years.

Metformin and monkeys: what can we learn about delaying aging?

A new study reveals that metformin, a widely prescribed diabetes medication, can significantly improve health parameters in aged male cynomolgus monkeys — possibly by slowing the aging process. The findings represent an important step toward understanding how pharmaceutical interventions might, in the future, extend the healthspan and delay age-related diseases in humans.

A Common Blood Pressure Drug Extends Lifespan And Slows Aging in Animals

The hypertension drug rilmenidine has been shown to slow down aging in worms, an effect that in humans could hypothetically help us live longer and keep us healthier in our latter years.

Previous research has shown rilmenidine mimics the effects of caloric restriction on a cellular level. Reducing available energy while maintaining nutrition within the body has been shown to extend lifespans in several animal models.

Whether this translates to human biology, or is a potential risk to our health, is a topic of ongoing debate. Finding ways to achieve the same benefits without the costs of extreme calorie cutting could lead to new ways to improve health in old age.

Challenging Reality: A Scientist Maps the Landscape of Consciousness

Kuhn’s taxonomy of consciousness connects various theories to deep questions about human existence and AI, based on his extensive dialogue with over 200 experts.

“Out of meat, how do you get thought? That’s the grandest question,” said philosopher Patricia Churchland to Robert Lawrence Kuhn, the producer and host of the acclaimed PBS program Closer to Truth and member of FQxI’s scientific advisory council.

Kuhn has now published a comprehensive taxonomy of proposed solutions and theories regarding the hard problem of consciousness. His organizing framework aims to assess their impact on meaning, purpose, and value, as well as on AI consciousness, virtual immortality, survival beyond death, and free will. His work, titled ‘Landscape of Consciousness,’ appeared in the August 2024 issue of the journal Progress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology.

How to REVERSE AGING: The Latest Scientific Advances

Bill Faloon discusses advancements in age reversal therapies and their transition from research to clinical application, emphasizing the potential for delaying and reversing biological aging. He highlights advancements in age reversal, discussing therapies like young plasma, gene editing, yamanaka factors and exosome treatments, emphasizing their potential to reverse aging, improve health, and extend lifespan.

Scientists discover shared genetic foundations between musical rhythm and human language

In a study published Nov. 21 in the journal Nature Human Behaviour, researchers have uncovered significant genetic connections between human language abilities and musical rhythm skills, providing new insights into the biological underpinnings of these fundamental human traits.

The study brought together leading experts in the areas of musicality genetics and language genetics from Vanderbilt University Medical Center in close collaboration with researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics in the Netherlands.

The study revealed overlapping between rhythm-related skills and language-related traits, including dyslexia. Multiple datasets were used from over 1 million individuals. By applying advanced multivariate methods, the researchers were able to identify common genetic factors and explore their biological and evolutionary significance.

Researchers reveal how aging impairs antitumor activity of CD8⁺ T cells

A research team from the Shanghai Institute of Nutrition and Health (SINH) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has revealed that aging specifically impairs the generation of CD8+ tissue resident memory T cells (TRM) and thus compromises the antitumor defensive activity of aged CD8+ T cells. The study is published in Nature Aging.

With the , the risk of developing cancer significantly increases. In recent years, it has been reported that immune aging has an important impact on tumor development. Immune aging is a degenerative change in the immune system that occurs with aging, leading to a decline in and ultimately triggering diseases including tumors.

Within the immune system, CD8+ T cells are the main defensive adaptive immune cells protecting against . However, the mechanism by which aging impairs the antitumor response of CD8+ T cells was not previously understood.
