Journal Club December 2018 — Fisetin is a senotherapeutic that extends health and lifespan
Posted by Steve Hill in categories: futurism, life extension
The topic for the December Journal Club will be the recently published paper – Fisetin is a senotherapeutic that extends health and lifespan. This commonly available supplement and a plant-based polyphenol appears to influence the aging process in mice by clearing senescent cells, one of the suggested reasons we age.

One-carbon Metabolic Pathway Implicated In Age-Related Immunosenescence
Posted by Nicola Bagalà in category: life extension
A recent study by Harvard Medical School scientists suggests that defective one-carbon metabolism and cellular respiration might contribute to age-related immunosenescence, the decline of immune function typically observed during aging [1].

Posted by Michael Lance in category: space travel
2018 was a huge success! We launched a mission to “touch” the Sun, stuck another nearly flawless #MarsLanding, marked our #NASA60th anniversary of opening our doors for business, welcomed NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine and began #Apollo50 celebrations! That’s just some of what happened This Year @ NASA — there’s even more at http://www.nasa.gov/2018.

SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launches from Cape Canaveral
Posted by Michael Lance in category: satellites
WATCH LIVE: SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket is attempting to launch a U.S. Air Force navigation satellite from Cape Canaveral, FL.
By Chinese Satellite with 24.9 billion pixels of quantum technology. It’s worth seeing! You can zoom in, zoom out when you look at it. You can clearly see every gesture, even face of pedestrians on the road.

Data storage using individual molecules
Posted by Klaus Baldauf in categories: computing, particle physics
Researchers from the University of Basel have reported a new method that allows the physical state of just a few atoms or molecules within a network to be controlled. It is based on the spontaneous self-organization of molecules into extensive networks with pores about one nanometer in size. In the journal Small, the physicists reported on their investigations, which could be of particular importance for the development of new storage devices.
