Human Longevity Inc. Sees Early Success with Health Nucleus
Health Nucleus used data from Human Longevity Inc. in their clinic model. The model utilizes groundbreaking technology and medical experts to help patients achieve the longest, healthiest life possible. Human Longevity Inc, founded in 2013, first sought to harness the predictive capabilities of human genes. In 2016 the company pivoted to focus on other promising
Stem Cells and Senescence Promising Targets for Longevity Research
As the human body ages, individual cells progressively lose their ability to complete biological functions. As cell function degrades, the human body experiences an increase in biological aging, meaning the rapid development of age-related disorders. Typically, the body has several systems that rejuvenate and regenerate cells and tissues, and new research has indicated that encouraging
Pig Model Demonstrates Effectiveness of New Osteoarthritis Treatment
New lab-grown stem cells have created a viable path to treating osteoarthritis. Using animal models, scientists have demonstrated the successful repair of osteoarthritic joints that surpasses current therapies. Scientists have not tried this technique in humans, but future research will assess the degree of pain relief and recovered mobility in osteoarthritis patients. A study in
30 Years Younger? New Study Makes Anti-Aging Breakthrough
A new study has turned back the aging clock in human cells by up to 30 years. In the study, researchers introduced partially rejuvenated human cells to a simulated skin wound. The findings could help us reverse the effects of age-related diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease and cataracts in the near future. Scientists have developed
Nanotechnology Offers New Treatment for Osteopathic Disorders
Scientists have created a nanotechnological structure, a covalent organic framework, to help direct stem cells to bone cells in patients experiencing bone disease. Researchers have successfully demonstrated that the covalent organic framework can improve bone growth in laboratory models. Future research on stem-cell-driven nanotechnology could allow rapid repair of bones in patients with osteopathic diseases.
Cellular Rejuvenation Successfully Reverses Aging in Mice
Cellular rejuvenation could be the key to reversing aging after successful trials on mice. By introducing reprogramming molecules known as Yamanaka factors, scientists were able to reverse aging in mice cells. The study could have immense applications in tackling the aging process in human beings, as well as age-related diseases. Can we reverse the aging
Four Promising Biotech Companies Back in the Spotlight
Four noteworthy companies have emerged from stealth with promising results and new directions for research. Companies include biotherapeutic developers, nutraceutical manufacturers, and a preclinical drug discovery company. Researchers hope to solve problems related to the limited effectiveness of gene therapies, slow aging through dietary supplements, disrupt the drug-discovery research structure, and open up new doors
Can Gene Therapy Find an HIV Cure?
Gene therapy continues to show promising results in finding the cure for HIV after the first woman was cured earlier this year. The patient also suffered from myeloid leukemia; a unique type of cancer that starts in blood-forming cells in the bone marrow. She was observed to be in remission and free of the virus
Scientists Make Breakthrough in Creating Artificial Kidneys
Researchers have generated the first artificial kidney organoid in a laboratory setup. The researchers used cultured embryonic stem cells derived from mice to generate the artificial kidney tissue. This discovery could improve kidney research and the potential generation of artificial kidneys for human transplants. Researchers from Japan’s Kumamoto University have generated a complex 3D artificial
Can Nematode Worms Help Humans Understand Aging?
Scientists are searching for genes that influence aging in humans, hoping to understand the aging process by studying those genes. Researchers conducted a study that modified the genes of a simple organism, the nematode worm, to better understand how similar genes affect humans. Scientists discovered 50 nematode genes that affect aging, 43 of which are
