I guess Aubrey de Grey is still part of SEN.

To know is essentially the same as not knowing. The only thing that occurs is the rearrangement of atoms in your brain.

High-profile scientist says we’ll be able to prevent aging within the next 20 years

March 12th, 2022 at 11:36 PM

We may be able to prevent aging in humans within the next two decades. At least, that’s what one high-profile scientist working with Altos Labs says. The scientist in question is Juan Carlos Izpisua, a 61-year-old Spanish researcher known for his work in the field.

Izpisua is just one high-profile scientist joining Altos Labs, which has been scooping up top scientists over the past few months. Recently Izpisua spoke with EL PAÍS about joining Altos Labs, and the work he has been doing in the age-reversing sector.

Back in January, Altos Labs announced that it wanted to enable humans to live longer and healthier lives. It’s a goal that we’ve seen many strive after. According to Izpisua, though, we could be getting closer to achieving it.

“I am convinced that within two decades we will have tools that not only treat symptoms, but also can predict, prevent and treat diseases and aging through cellular rejuvenation,” he told EL PAÍS.

Findings could lead to targeted approach for treating aging.
Research from the Babraham Institute has developed a method to ‘time jump’ human skin cells by 30 years, turning back the aging clock for cells without losing their specialized function. Work by researchers in the Institute’s Epigenetics research program has been able to partly restore the function of older cells, as well as rejuvenating the molecular measures of biological age. The research is published today (April 7, 2022) in the journal eLife and whilst at an early stage of exploration, it could revolutionize regenerative medicine.

What is regenerative medicine?
As we age, our cells’ ability to function declines and the genome accumulates marks of aging. Regenerative biology aims to repair or replace cells including old ones. One of the most important tools in regenerative biology is our ability to create ‘induced’ stem cells. The process is a result of several steps, each erasing some of the marks that make cells specialized. In theory, these stem cells have the potential to become any cell type, but scientists aren’t yet able to reliably recreate the conditions to re-differentiate stem cells into all cell types.

New approach enhances muscle recovery in aged mice

by Diana Yates, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
https://medicalxpress.com/news/2022-04- ... -mice.html
Scientists have developed a promising new method to combat the age-related losses in muscle mass that often accompany immobility after injury or illness. Their technique, demonstrated in mice, arrests the process by which muscles begin to deteriorate at the onset of exercise after a period of inactivity.

They report their findings in the Journal of Physiology.

Exercise, particularly engagement in load-bearing activities, helps retain muscle mass—and is particularly important as one ages, said Marni Boppart, a professor of kinesiology and community health at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign who led the research. Injury or illness can lead to periods of immobility and declines in muscle quality.

"When we're not able to contract the muscle, it is going to atrophy," Boppart said. "If that immobility continues for very long, there's going to be significant loss of muscle mass and strength."

To help cope with the world's oldest population, Japan is investing in transplanted iPS stem cells

Tokyo – This month, a team of researchers at Osaka University declared an experimental treatment involving four patients suffering from corneal disease a success. The patients, who ranged in age from their 30s to 70s, received transplanted stem cells grown in the lab, known as iPS cells. Three had improved sight, and all were free of side effects one year later.

"This could be a revolutionary treatment that could overcome the challenges that existing treatment has faced, such as a shortage of cornea donors or transplant rejection," Koji Nishida, an Osaka University professor of ophthalmology, said at a news conference.

It was the latest in a flurry of iPS-related announcements in Japan as the country tries to carve a niche in "regenerative medicine" by culturing healthy cells to replace diseased, injured or non-functioning ones.

The world’s oldest person, Japan’s Kane Tanaka, has died at 119 years of age, authorities of Japan’s Fukuoka prefecture confirmed to EFE on Monday.

Born on Jan. 2, 1903 in the old village of Wajiro, which is now part of the city of Fukuoka on the southern island of Kyushu, Tanaka died in a hospital in the city on Apr. 19 at the age of 119 years and 108 days.

Tanaka lived through five different Japanese eras (Meiji, Taisho, Showa, Heisei and today’s Reiwa) and had set herself a goal of turning 120 next year, according to her family.

She was recognized by the Gerontology Research Group and the Guinness World Record as the oldest woman and the oldest person in the world in 2019.

At the age of 19 she married, and the family got ahead running udon noodle restaurants.

the skincell story is actually very good news. the revitalization of healing and collagen production (even if only partial) has huge potential for other cell groups like arteries and digestive systems. People don't realize how structurally important collagen is to many organs and systems of the body, and it's decline is a factor in a lot of aging related sickness and injury.

Since time machine technology is not currently available this will have to do. Time is still at the moment the only non refundable receipt you cannot take back so life extension technology like this is always helpful and I am grateful for! :)
