Live Forever? Humans Could Reach Immortality in 8 Years
Through Nanobots, Says Former Google Engineer "While the idea of immortality has crossed the minds of several individuals and specialists before, a former Google engineer has made a bold claim that humans may reach immortality in eight years. According to the Daily Mail, the former Google engineer, Ray Kurzweil, spoke to the Adagio YouTube channel and brought up robotics, genetics, and nanotechnology expansions. Kurzweil specifically thinks that these advancements will lead to the development of nanobots that can reverse age." See: https://www.sciencetimes.com/article...ots-former.htm |

Scientists may have discovered how to slow down
aging in humans "A group of German scientists may have finally cracked the code to slow down human aging. According to a new study published in Nature, researchers with the University of Cologne in Germany have discovered a breakthrough in gene transcription that could be the key to how aging works. Further, this key may be malleable, allowing us to use certain processes to reverse the changes caused by gene transcription. This key is the process used by RNA to copy pieces of DNA. The researchers found that as humans age, this process speeds up and becomes less precise — more prone to errors. One researcher involved in the new study, Dr. Andreas Beyer, told Euronews that previous studies have all focused on why humans age and which genes were being flipped on and off during the process. But, Beyer says nobody stopped to ask how the transcription process changes as we age - which could prove useful in slowing human aging." See: https://bgr.com/science/scientists-m...ing-in-humans/ |

Scientists Dramatically Extend Cell Lifespan in Anti-Aging
Breakthrough "Scientists have achieved a significant breakthrough in the effort to slow the aging process with a novel technique that increased the lifespans of yeast cells by a whopping 82 percent, reports a new study. By programming cells to constantly switch between two aging pathways, researchers were able to prevent them from fully committing to either deteriorative process, a method that nearly doubled the lifespan of the cells. In other words, rather than the entire cell aging at once, the aging process was toggled between different physical parts of the organism, extending its life. This synthetic “toggle switch” offers a potential roadmap toward treatments that could one day extend human longevity, though that future is highly speculative at this time."
