Exploring Aging and Aging Interventions with Aubrey de Grey

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, life extension

In this episode of the Longevity Optimization Podcast, Dr. DeGray discusses groundbreaking research in aging and longevity, focusing on combination therapies, the hallmarks of aging, and the potential of stem cell and gene therapies. He emphasizes the importance of rejuvenation over merely slowing aging and explores the role of the immune system in health. The conversation also touches on biological age testing, lifestyle factors, and the future of gene therapy in enhancing longevity.

Aubrey de Grey is a British biomedical gerontologist and the founder of the SENS Research Foundation. He is a leading advocate for regenerative medicine, focusing on reversing the effects of aging by repairing cellular damage. Known for his bold vision of life extension, de Grey believes that with advanced therapies, humans could significantly extend their lifespan. He is the co-author of Ending Aging, and his work continues to shape the future of longevity science.

Driving photochemistry with sub-molecular precision

Posted by in categories: 3D printing, chemistry

Absorption of light initiates many natural and artificial chemical processes, for example, photosynthesis in plants, human vision, or even 3D printing. Until now, it seemed impossible to control a light-driven chemical reaction at the atomic scale, where only a specific part of one molecule is addressed.

Michael Levin — Why Intelligence Isn’t Limited To Brains

Posted by in categories: biological, neuroscience

Professor Michael Levin explores the revolutionary concept of diverse intelligence, demonstrating how cognitive capabilities extend far beyond traditional brain-based intelligence. Drawing from his groundbreaking research, he explains how even simple biological systems like gene regulatory networks exhibit learning, memory, and problem-solving abilities. Levin introduces key concepts like “cognitive light cones” — the scope of goals a system can pursue — and shows how these ideas are transforming our approach to cancer treatment and biological engineering.

Mathematician and Computer Scientist Stephen Wolfram wants to do no less than revolutionising physics. He wants to do it with computer code that gives rise to all the fundamental laws of nature that we know and like — and maybe more. Unfortunately, Einstein’s theories of general relativity inherently clash with how computers work. And yet, he and his team might have found a clever way around this problem.
