UPDATE LEV Foundation Four Combined Life Extension Therapies Trying to Double Remaining Life

There is a large scale study using 1000 mice testing four major life extension therapies to see if there is an additive effect and how much additive effect there is. Preliminary data is show there can be longer lifespans with combined therapies. There have been different life extension therapies where each on there own can …

Bladder Tissue Grown Successfully from Bone Marrow

Bladder tissue was successfully grown from baboon bone marrow. It was kept functional for two years. This success is promising for success with human tissue over the next few years. Scientists from Stanley Manne Children’s Research Institute at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago and Northwestern University have succeeded in regenerating fully …

The First Human Has Gotten a Neuralink Implant

Neuralink has officially implanted its first brain chip into an actual human. The person is recovering well and the device is detecting neuron spiking. Those who suffer from ALS or spinal cord injury are the people who should apply for device. The Neuralink mission is to create a generalized brain interface to restore autonomy to …

Excess Global Deaths Continue and Total Around Triple Total COVID Deaths

Researchers published in the peer-reviewed Nature in Dec 2022 estimated that there were 14.83 million excess deaths globally (2020-2022), 2.74 times more deaths than the 5.42 million reported as due to COVID-19 for the period. The Global Covid deaths greatly in declined in 2023 but the excess deaths continued at far higher levels. In Japan …

Gut Bacteria Protects Against Obesity and Over Exposure to Antibiotics Makes Us More Fat

The worldwide prevalence of childhood obesity has risen dramatically over the last 30 years. In the United States, approximately 20% of school-age children are considered obese, resulting in a significant public health concern. The etiology of childhood obesity is complex, and both genetic and environmental factors contribute to the development of the disease. Recently, early-life …

Plan to Test Induced Hibernation on Animals on the Space Station

A trope in science fiction is for advanced space missions to use suspended animation for long space missions. In fiction, they usually assume that suspended animation stops aging. This will be full on cryonics. In reality, we can safely induce a hibernation like state where metabolic processes are slowed. Minimal nutrients and water would be …

High-Performance Ultrafast Lasers That Fit on a Fingertip

New high-performance ultrafast lasers are being made on nanophotonic chips. The new work centers on miniaturizing mode-lock lasers — a unique laser that emits a train of ultrashort, coherent light pulses in femtosecond intervals, which is an astonishing quadrillionth of a second. Ultrafast mode-locked lasers are indispensable to unlocking the secrets of the fastest timescales …

Progress to Living Molecular Cell Repair Organoids That Could Fix Neurons, Nerves and the Spinal Cord

Researchers have now taken a step toward that vision of molecular systems that repair cells inside the human body. Molecular repair built from a patient’s own cells will eventually ferret out cancer, repair injured tissue, and even remove plaque from blood vessels. They have gotten tracheal cells to form coordinated groups called organoids that can …
