#Longevity research

[thinkmeatmarinades]

Off all the arguments against longevity research “life requires death to have meaning” is one of the hardest to coherently argue against beyond simply saying “wtf no it doesn’t”. This is going to me trying to do that.

When we get down to it, the need for a meaningful life is a social one. It’s the drive to touch others lives, to create a better world. We measure meaning in how our acts influence others, and in the absence so other people meaning is fundamentally impossible. Death makes further acting impossible – it merely allows a life to be ‘tallied up’ with a specific end point, and we don’t have to worry about whether one has done ‘enough’, or fear that future acts will undo any good we’ve wrought.

It’s like saying a piece of art isn’t finished without a signature. Perhaps accurate, the signature doesn’t actually influence the artwork in any way, it merely signifies that the work can now be evaluated. Moreover, this implies that a Life is something that can in some way be ‘completed’ instead of merely cut short.

It’s also worth noting that longevity and/or biological immortality in no way innures you against Loss. Your friends and family will move away and you’ll never see them again, the band you like will break up, and in general the world will change and in so doing take away the things you love, but what is guaranteed is the chance to find new things and people to love.

It’s much simpler to appreciate the transient beauty of Roses when you’ll get to see them again someday.

The Future of Canine Longevity Imagine a world where your dog ages gracefully—where those energetic zoomies, enthusiastic tail wags, and joyous leaps don’t diminish with the passage of time. All dog lovers understand the heartache of witnessing their loyal companion’s decline, as the once-vibrant energy wanes, replaced by aching joints and graying fur. For centuries, we have accepted the notion…

Forever young – thanks to NMN?

by Dr.Harald Wiesendanger– Klartext What the mainstream media is hiding You can spend a fortune on anti-aging products – with questionable benefits and uncertain side effects. NMN seems to be a notable exception. The more deeply this substance is researched, the more clearly its spectacular potential to keep us healthy and vital even as we get older becomes clear. “I want to grow old with…

Laptop shopping’s hard. Please just tell me how good your processor is with numbers so i can quantify whether youre worth the extra hundred dollars. How much space is enough. Where the FUCK did you write the graphics card information

[randompokemonfacts]

Could you do relicanth?? I feel like they’re quite under appreciated

Sure, I'd be more than happy to!

- Professor Dexter

Pokémon that was requested: Relicanth!

Did you know that Relicanth feeds on microscopic organisms with its toothless mouth? This ancient Pokémon's body is filled with fat, so it can withstand the water pressure of the deep sea. Relicanth is also covered in tough scales that are like craggy rocks!

even otherwise very likeable people spend too long in the bay area and start telling you that going to rationalist social events is okay

Bro last night was so much......... I'm still reeling...... What even.... They gave us so much. I wasn't ready. I wasn't ready. I didn't KNOW.

Hear me out... Poundmates Jo........ Not a party member but maybe helpful. Him looking soft has me so fucked up. Why is Akane alive. Why is she alive bro. Why does Jo know she alive. Why would he- FUCK dude I'm trying to work but all I can think about is 8

i hope we get poundmates jo and we have to do it pokemon style where we have to beat his ass and then catch him <- delusional

its so frazy to hear about the insane amount of medical advaces being made these days knowing full and well none of the things that come from these advances are going to be accessible or affordable for the general population for decades after they actually become available

Side effect of doing research that no ones tells you about: I now have beef with a hormone receptor. and maybe also bones as a whole.

But does it have a headphone jack?

(No.)

There are two configurations available: one with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage for $599 and another with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage for $679. The storage of both models can be expanded via microSD, and the phone features a modular design that can be easily disassembled using a standard Phillips #00 screwdriver to replace broken components. It also has an IP54 rating, meaning the device is protected against dust and water sprays.

The Murena Fairphone 4 will ship to US customers with 5G and dual SIM support, a removable 3905mAh battery, a 48-megapixel main camera, a 48-megapixel ultrawide, and a 25-megapixel selfie camera. The phones will be available to order exclusively from Murena’s webstore starting today.

Novel Insights into the Roles and Mechanisms of GLP-1 Receptor Agonists against Aging-Related Diseases

https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Novel-Insights-into-the-Roles-and-Mechanisms-of-Peng-Zhou/e6aaede833ff2a8b164dbb50cc10c55f0a1e70e1

Wei Peng, Rui Zhou, +2 authors Yongqiang Gong

Published in Aging and Disease 1 April 2022

Abstract: Aging and aging-related diseases have emerged as increasingly severe health and social problems. Therefore, it is imperative to discover novel and effective therapeutics to delay the aging process and to manage aging-related diseases. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs), one of the classes of antihyperglycemic drugs, have been recommended to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Moreover, GLP-1 RAs have been shown to protect against oxidative stress, cellular senescence and chronic inflammation, which are widely accepted as the major risk factors of aging. However, their significance in aging or aging-related diseases has not been elucidated. Herein, we explain the underlying mechanisms and protective roles of GLP-1 RAs in aging from a molecular, cellular and phenotypic perspective. We provide novel insights into the broad prospect of GLP-1 RAs in preventing and treating aging-related diseases. Additionally, we highlight the gaps for further studies in clinical applications of GLP-1 RAs in aging-related diseases. This review forms a basis for further studies on the relationship between aging-related diseases and GLP-1 RAs.

Can Billionaires Conquer Aging ! : Hope or Hype ? | @researchatory

The quest for eternal youth? Billionaires are pouring billions into biotech firms to develop life-extending pills and rejuvenation therapies. Is this the future of healthcare or a pipe dream? #longevity#biotech#antiaging#rejuvenation#healthspan#futureofhealth#innovation#science#billionaires#investment#research#aging#health#medicine#technology#transhumanism#immortality#lifespan#healthyliving#wellness

Billionaires like Jeff Bezos, Peter Thiel, and Mark Zuckerberg are indeed investing heavily in biotechnology firms focused on longevity and rejuvenation.

Here are some examples:

* Jeff Bezos: Invests in Altos Labs, a company exploring cellular reprogramming to reverse aging. * Peter Thiel: Invests in Unity Biotechnology, which targets senescent cells to slow down aging. * Mark Zuckerberg: Supports longevity research through the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub.

These investments reflect a growing interest in extending human lifespan and improving healthspan. The field of biotechnology is rapidly advancing, and these financial injections could potentially lead to breakthroughs in age-related diseases and even reverse aspects of aging.
