"Stem cells, injected into the eyes of mice with a model of retinitis pigmentosa, lead to the development of blood vessels. " Reliability theory has proven to be very useful in the manufacturing world - it seems that it can be equally useful in the fight to cure aging and greatly extend our healthy life spans.
But overall, embryonic stem cells still appear to hold the advantage.
In the laboratory we can very effectively kill the tumor without killing the normal stem cells.
"While cognitive function improved marginally in four patients, their condition didn't worsen, which might have been expected after six months. " This may sound prosaic compared to some work in stem cell research, but improvements in the reliability, effectiveness and economics of treating age-related joint failure are a big deal. If, for example, we could move mitochondrial DNA into the comparatively well-protected cell nucleus, we would be in much better shape to resist ongoing damage. For far longer, healthier lives, we must support the future of medical research. " We are living at the end of an era: real, effective therapies for aging could be as little as a few decades away. " Basic cancer research - understanding how our cells and bodies function at the molecular level - will also support the fight to cure aging. We can run a substitute national program. And here we have a mouse that has amyloid deposition and plaques yet no neurons are dying. " We can certainly hope so. "They're amazing animals with many possibilities for research that could benefit humans. " While any talk of "physical immortality research" is far in advance of reality, it's certainly worth discussion as a serious long-term goal in front of a wider public audience.
Enthusiasm has waned. At the boundary of engineering and medicine, there is a thriving industry engaged in extending healthy life span by building replacement parts for worn organs.
- Sneaky Opposition to Embryonic Stem Cell Research- Discussion- Latest Healthy Life Extension HeadlinesDNA REPAIR: GOOD THING OR SIDE ISSUE? Medical research is about discovery. and that ultimately leads to support, funding, research and progress.
Regenerative medicine for age-related damage will help us to get there, starting in a decade or so. While some very promising first generation therapies use adult stem cells, embryonic stem cell research is essential to the long term goal of developing a regenerative repair kit for human beings. " Aging and related processes in the body are far from uniform across the animal kingdom - there are even animals that age too slowly for researchers to make a good estimate of life span. Forward it on, or post a copy to your favorite online communities. These are the pillars which will support progress in cancer.
" Aging and related processes in the body are far from uniform across the animal kingdom - there are even animals that age too slowly for researchers to make a good estimate of life span. "Ten years ago, everybody thought it would come about. Are you new to healthy life extension?
htmlBiogerontologist Aubrey de Grey is featured in an article at The Australian.
" The cancer research establishment is enormous, the result of thirty years of deliberate intent, education and strong public support. At the boundary of engineering and medicine, there is a thriving industry engaged in extending healthy life span by building replacement parts for worn organs.
" The trial had only five participants, so we should not draw conclusions from such a small sample.
chronic infections from childhood onward accelerated vascular and other diseases.
" This may sound prosaic compared to some work in stem cell research, but improvements in the reliability, effectiveness and economics of treating age-related joint failure are a big deal.
Personally, I look forward to seeing the day when serious anti-aging research enjoys the same level of public understanding, debate and support.
The ability to quickly discover compounds that cause stem cells to differentiate into specific types of mature cell - bone cells in this case - is one of the great benefits of bioinformatics.
" As scientists experiment with adult stem cells - an uncontroversial and thus well supported field - we can expect to see more of these sorts of potential therapies come to light.
Medical research is about discovery. htmSince we're on the subject of exercise and natural longevity today, it seems worth reminding everyone that "use it or lose it" applies just as much to the brain as the body.
