All About Genome Editing with CRISPR-Cas9 Technology
Improving our health and longevity has long been top of mind for humanity. However, new innovations in genome editing are finally reshaping how we can navigate challenges in these areas. Revolutionizing the field of genetics and biotechnology, CRISPR-Cas9’s genome editing stands out as a powerful and versatile tool that has changed the way we undertake genetic modifications to help improve our lives. CRISPR — Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats — is a natural defense mechanism in bacteria [...]
How Scientists Have Slowed the Human Aging Process
Aging has remained a timeless concern for humanity. Our search to extend our lives through improved health and well-being remains one of our greatest quests. While humans can't stop the aging process, recent breakthroughs in scientific research have indicated promising strides in slowing down how humans age while also encouraging overall improvement in longevity. Groundbreaking research conducted by the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) and other promising recent studies has made impressive progress on engineering longevity in [...]
What Can Brain Interface Technologies Actually Do?
Brain interface technologies are paving the way for a new experiential reality. Cybernetics (the integration of our biology with machines) has already become a possibility, allowing humans to control machines with our thoughts — even if only with simple commands. Current cybernetics includes prosthetic limbs, pacemakers and deep brain stimulators. Computer brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) have also been developed so that computers may decode information from our brains, understanding what we see, hear or even intend to say. This [...]
A New Way to Think About Human Longevity
Many people search for the secrets to a long and healthy life. We have long sought the answer through healthy eating, exercising and mental wellness to ultimately benefit the human lifespan. New insight suggests that focusing on extending the human healthspan could eventually help in the search for improved life and longevity. According to reporter Matt Reynolds, healthspan refers to the years we live in generally good health before our bodies are more likely to suffer serious injuries. [...]
Will Knowledge be Streamable with BCIs?
Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) have emerged as a groundbreaking technology, bridging the gap between the human brain and computers. These interfaces can potentially revolutionize various aspects of our lives, from healthcare to entertainment. One intriguing possibility is the ability to stream knowledge directly into the human brain using BCIs. This article explores the concept of streamable knowledge with BCIs, its current state, and its potential implications on society. The Current State of Brain-Computer Interfaces Before delving into the [...]
The Research Behind NAD+
NAD therapy, which stands for Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide therapy, has recently gained popularity as a potential anti-aging and wellness treatment. The therapy involves the administration of a coenzyme called NAD+ to the body, with claims of various health benefits. However, it is vital to assess the evidence supporting these claims before embracing NAD therapy as a panacea. This blog delves into the available evidence and explores whether NAD therapy lives up to its hype. Understanding NAD Therapy Nicotinamide [...]
