A recent finding has revealed the key identifier of the aging process: a molecular pathway. And this pathway may hold the answer to why a longer lifespan is achieved by eating less. University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Tomas A. Prolla claimed they are already on their way of gaining more insight on the mechanics of caloric restriction. [...]

In 2009, Israeli women’s life expectancy was 83.5 years in comparison to 2004 when it was 81.8 years. Meanwhile, the life expectancy of men was 79.7 years, an increase of two years in comparison to their life expectancy in 2005. On March 8, for International Women’s Day, data was released by the Central Bureau of [...]

In Sydney Australia, scientists have found “Period 1” a circadian clock gene, an important factor in managing blood pressure levels. It may be able to bring light to the latest treatment for certain types of stroke or heart disease. In 24 hours, certain processes in our body like body temperature, hormones, kidney blood flow, and [...]

Based upon Life span figures, humans are surviving for a longer period than any other moment in time. The fact is that in less than one hundred years we have added an additional thirty or so years to our combined life expectancy. We are literally manufacturing old age and it is claimed that this is [...]

Imagine a world where car turning blinkers are never turned off. Being afraid of a world of aged drivers, not to mention all the other resources an older population would take over. These anxieties are ridiculous but there is a camp out there that believes those who wish to live forever are being selfish and [...]

The life span of humans in the developing nations is rising but some experts believe we are only scratching the surface of increased life expectancy. Aubrey de Grey, respected Geneticist from Cambridge University thinks that one thousand years is a reasonable expectation – and sooner than later. He says that aging is a physical occurrence [...]

Just consider for a moment an artificially intelligent [AI] human, given the same privileges as a genuine human but not being burdened by the restricted longevity ordinary humans must contend with. They would hold the capability to accumulate wealth and resources for itself ad infinitum. As humans we do not tend to live for any [...]

In the 1975 to 1980s, a cohort of scientists came to the conclusion that the maximum lifespan of humans are 120. It was found that before reaching the age of one hundred and twenty several processes responsible for the reproduction of cells start to fail. This causes the death of cells and the individual. Lately, [...]

The discovery of the HeLa cell line has promoted remarkable biomedical research. It has contributed to the development of polio vaccine and even vitro fertilization. The indefinite force of these cells is present in the cell’s potential to proliferate and grow indefinitely. The fascinating thing is that few people know that these cells originally came [...]

This article is an adaptation of Marios Kyriaziz explanation on Human biological Immortality. The article describes how Human Biological Immortality will turn out to be a direct result of natural evolution. This natural process can be accelerated in various ways like via the concept of ELPIs (Extreme Lifespan Through Perpetual-Equalising Interventions). Marios Kyriazis MD, Biomedical [...]
