A Botanical Extract Extends Lifespan and Healthspan in Mice

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, life extension

Not in leading research but interesting.


According to a new study, a polyphenol-rich natural extract positively impacts lifespan, healthspan, and cellular senescence. These results were observed in both cell culture and a mouse model [1].

Traditional and folk medicines offer many botanical extracts that can be tested by modern science for their medicinal properties and influences on aging. One such plant is the Bolivian prawn sage (Salvia haenkei).

Central Nervous System-associated Macrophages could Modulate Post-Stroke Immune Responses

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, neuroscience

An ischemic stroke is a type of stroke that occurs when a blood clot in an artery, also known as thrombus, or the progressive narrowing of arteries, blocks the blood and oxygen flowing to the brain. This process can cause both temporary and permanent brain damage, for instance, leading to partial paralysis, cognitive impairments and other debilitating impairments.

Statistics suggest that older age increases the risk of experiencing ischemic strokes. While neuroscience studies have shed light on many of the physiological processes underpinning strokes, the immune responses following these events and promoting recovery remain poorly understood.

Researchers at the Institut Blood and Brain @ Caen-Normandie (BB@C), University of Edinburgh and other institutes in Europe carried out a study exploring how central nervous system (CNS)-associated macrophages (CAMs), immune cells residing at the CNS interfaces, contribute to post-stroke immune responses.

Can we make Mars Earth-like through terraforming?

Posted by in categories: engineering, environmental, space

🎵🎶…Mars ain’t the kind of place to raise your kids…🎵🎶 Even then, since Mars has 38% of Earth’s gravity, it can only retain an atmosphere of about 0.38 bar.


These are some of the most compelling ideas on how to terraform Mars into a habitable, Earth-like world for future explorers.

The Fermi Paradox is an estimate that says: Given all we currently know about the universe, we should have found extraterrestrial life already. So why haven’t we? In a paper that just appeared two weeks ago, a physicist has now put forward the idea that aliens use quantum communication. How does that solve the Fermi Paradox? I’ve had a look.
