Dr Katcher’s E5 Experiment
Posted by Montie Adkins in categories: biotech/medical, genetics, health
Another E5 update. At the moment there is a great difference between the control and treated rats. The treated rats are nearing their expected lifespan. And it looks like E5 human trials are trying to be set up.
In this video we report on the Feb 2022 update from Dr. Katcher’s experiment with E5, where he is testing to see how long the rats will stay alive if they are given an E5 injection every 90 days.

NVIDIA GPUs Enable Simulation of a Living Cell
Posted by Shubham Ghosh Roy in categories: chemistry, computing, genetics, particle physics
Researchers from the University of Illinois developed GPU-accelerated software to simulate a cell that metabolizes and grows like a living cell.
Every living cell contains its own bustling microcosm, with thousands of components responsible for energy production, protein building, gene transcription and more.
Scientists at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have built a 3D simulation that replicates these physical and chemical characteristics at a particle scale — creating a fully dynamic model that mimics the behavior of a living cell.

The Future Of Medicine: Fighting Deadly Diseases With Smart Devices And Digital Biomarkers
Posted by Gemechu Taye in categories: biotech/medical, genetics, health, mobile phones, neuroscience
What are biomarkers? They are medical signals that can measure health in an accurate and reproducible way. Common examples include blood pressure readings, heart rate, and even genetic test results.
Modern digital devices measure several health parameters. Fitbit trackers use sensors such as accelerometers to tell how many steps we’ve taken in a day or how fast we’ve been walking. When can such novel health measures function as medical biomarkers?

The Generation of Superhumans — Can We Edit Our Genes?
Posted by Kelvin Dafiaghor in categories: biotech/medical, genetics
New technologies have considerably improved scientists’ ability to locate the genetic variations that distinguish our DNA from that of other people. In some instances, these genetic differences give rise to diverse superhuman abilities. There is growing interest in identifying genes associated with special abilities, many of which seem to be inherited. Some consider people like Wim Hof a.k.a the iceman known for the Wim Hof method as a person with superhuman abilities.
As for the future, according to prominent scientists within 30 years, it will probably be possible to make essentially any kind of change to any kind of genome.

3 Rejuvenation Strategies For Aging
Posted by Montie Adkins in categories: biotech/medical, education, genetics, life extension
Blood plasma, cellular reprogramming, endogenous.
You may have heard a lot of talk recently about cellular reprogramming, rejuvenation or even “rejuvenation programming”, but what does that all mean and what are the 3 main strategies that several researchers and companies (maybe Altos Labs) will be further investigating?

FeaturedRead our 3 books at https://lifeboat.com/ex/books.
The Lifeboat Foundation is a nonprofit nongovernmental organization dedicated to encouraging scientific advancements while helping humanity survive existential risks and possible misuse of increasingly powerful technologies, including genetic engineering, nanotechnology, and robotics/AI, as we move towards the Singularity.
Lifeboat Foundation is pursuing a variety of options, including helping to accelerate the development of technologies to defend humanity, such as new methods to combat viruses, effective nanotechnological defensive strategies, and even self-sustaining space colonies in case the other defensive strategies fail.

First Molecular Electronics Chip Developed — Realizes 50-Year-Old Goal
Posted by Shubham Ghosh Roy in categories: biotech/medical, computing, genetics
A platform for single-molecule measurement of binding kinetics & enzyme activity.
The first molecular electronics chip has been developed, realizing a 50-year-old goal of integrating single molecules into circuits to achieve the ultimate scaling limits of Moore’s Law. Developed by Roswell Biotechnologies and a multi-disciplinary team of leading academic scientists, the chip uses single molecules as universal sensor elements in a circuit to create a programmable biosensor with real-time, single-molecule sensitivity and unlimited scalability in sensor pixel density. This innovation, appearing this week in a peer-reviewed article in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), will power advances in diverse fields that are fundamentally based on observing molecular interactions, including drug discovery, diagnostics, DNA
