A Healthier Tomorrow: Why We Should All Consider Visiting a Longevity Centre
Taking the plunge and time out of our busy schedules to visit a longevity centre could be a vital step that helps us to remain present, healthy, and active enough to embrace whatever tomorrow brings.
Unravelling Longevity: Disrupting The Twelve Factors That Drive Aging
Over time scientists have identified twelve hallmarks that are commonly accepted to cause aging. This article delves into how scientists are now trying to halt aging and overcome the effects of these factors on the body.
The Rejuvenation Revolution: A Look At Tomorrow’s Solutions For Living Longer
In labs across the world, scientists are now unlocking the secrets of aging and striving to reverse its effects. This fight to uncover the mysteries of aging will inevitably, result in scientists finding new ways to extend human lifespans. This article will summarise the most promising age rejuvenation therapies progressing through scientific labs and clinical trials, with the aim of one day soon becoming available to the general public.
How Our Genes Shape Our Lifespans: The role of Genetics and Supplements
Personalised supplement plans could play an increasingly vital role in one’s longevity journey, whether it be to maintain energy levels at work or keep up with our kids, ensuring that we receive the nutrients we need to support our health and longevity.
Embracing the Journey to Longevity Escape Velocity
Longevity Escape Velocity refers to a future scenario in which medical progress and innovation allows scientists to extend human lifespan at a rate greater than the passage of time. Embarking on this remarkable journey requires a multi-faceted approach.
Adding Life to Years, Not Just Years to Life: The Importance of Thinking About Healthspan When Trying to Extend Life Expectancy
If scientists find the “fountain of youth,” it will be just as important that humans live both a long and healthy life too. It is not just about clocking up the years, but making those years count with good health and quality of life.
The Game Changer in Longevity: Unravelling the Mysteries of Epigenetics and Epigenetic Clocks
Epigenetics is the study of changes in gene activity that do not result in any alterations to the genetic code, but still get passed on to the next generation. Many scientists assert that by studying and understanding the changes in our epigenetic clock, one may be able to create interventions to slow the aging process.
The Power of Biomarkers: A Clearer Path to Longer, Healthier Lives
Researchers look for signs or clues to help us understand how our bodies age. Scientists call these signs "biomarkers" which can be defined as measurable indicators of some biological state or condition. They are often used in medical research and practice to assess a patient's health status or response to interventions.
A Look at How We Could Possibly Speed Up Anti-Aging Drug Approvals
The approval of promising anti-aging drugs often face significant hurdles. Lengthy and complex process of regulatory approvals often stagnate a brilliant development for many years before it comes to market. However, there are strategies that can potentially accelerate these processes and bring life-extending drugs to the public much faster.
The Amazing Tale of the Immortal Jellyfish
In the vast and mysterious world deep in the ocean, a tiny creature dwells, defying the very concept of mortality, called the Immortal jellyfish. This extraordinary oceanic resident (also officially known as Turritopsis dohrnii) has baffled scientists with its mind-boggling ability to cheat death.
What is Cloning, and how will it help us live longer or even become immortal?
Science fiction has long delved into the ability to create an exact genetic copy or “duplicate” of ourselves, however this article seeks to explore what exactly is the science behind it, and whether or not it could become a reality for humans in the near future.
Aging and the Importance of Understanding Senescence
Humans have grappled for centuries with the question of whether or not we can slow the effects of aging. Understanding the biological process called 'senescence' which refers to the aging of cells could very well hold the key to eternal youth.
Nature vs. Nurture: Exploring the Factors That Influence Our Lifespan
The influence of both nature and nurture has long fascinated scientists and philosophers alike, with debate raging over whether one force has a more dominant impact human development, behaviour and also how long we live for.
The Impact of COVID-19 on Life Extension: Navigating a Global Health Crisis
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused profound disruptions worldwide as it has challenged healthcare systems, economies, and the way our world has looked and functioned on a daily basis.
Bioprinting: The 3D Printing of Living Tissues and Organs
The science behind Bioprinting, which combines 3D printing and tissue engineering holds great promise for the field of healthcare and regenerative medicine. Bioprinting involves the use of specialised 3D printers that can create intricate structures using living cells and biomaterials.
Unlocking the Secrets of Youth: Telomere Extension and Human Lifespan
There has been some discussion recently around how by replenishing Telomeres can extend our lifespan… so what makes Telomeres so special and why are scientists looking at them so closely?
What is Stem Cell Therapy? How can it help us live longer healthier lives?
Stem cell therapy is a ground-breaking field of medical research that may well transform healthcare as we know it. Cells are the simple functional and structural unit of all living organisms. However, Stem cells are special types of cells found in our bodies that have the incredible means to develop into many different types of cells. The ability of a Stem cell to transform into various specialised cell types makes them invaluable to medical professionals, as they can be applied to repair, regenerate, or replace damaged cells and tissues in the body.
NMN explained: Exploring Cellular Energizers
Picture a molecule that could potentially unlock the secrets of longevity and help us live healthier, more vibrant lives. That molecule is NMN, an exciting compound that has recently caught the attention of scientists in the field of life extension.
Unveiling the Powers of Biotechnology and Nanotechnology
In the quest to unlock the secrets of extending life, two extraordinary forces have emerged, biotechnology and nanotechnology. Let's explore how they're shaping the future of longevity.
