A new way to prevent oxidative damage to cells has been discovered by UCLA biochemists. Avoiding oxidation in essential acids of cell membranes can help in the development of more effective nutritional supplements. It can even promote medicine that can prevent neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. Polyunsaturated fatty acids are fundamental essential nutrients [...]

Neuroscientists have found that stress can be inherited in genes. In fact, stress is harmful but there is a valid biological reason why it is passed-down to future generations. Stress is a mental devil; it leads to various outcomes, high blood pressure, heightens the risk of infertility and increases the pace of aging. Nevertheless, if [...]

An advanced medical model enables the possibility to regenerate a bladder using stem cells that can be extracted from the patient’s bone marrow. This has recently been discovered by scientists from the United States. The progress in using a patient’s bone marrow stem cell is producing an unfolding scope for organ replacement therapies. Arun Sharma, [...]

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 [...]

Does rejuvenation really exist? In fact, in nature rejuvenation does occur through reproduction. This is a premier; at CNRS in France a group of scientists from the Laboratoire de Biologie Moleculaire de la Cellule was successfully able to study how C.elegans worm had an instant ‘rejuvenation’ occurring to its oocytes prior to fertilization. The research [...]

Recently, a baby boy was born by using an embryo that was frozen 20 years ago. This is, however, causing ethical dilemmas concerning inter-generation‘adoption’ With advancing medical technology, freezing and preserving embryos for fertility treatment in women is increasingly common. The ability to freeze embryos helps women to try several cycles without having to develop [...]

When medical scientists use a scaffold and their patient’s own cells produced in a lab, they have been busy generating after market – so to speak – body parts. Surgeons will eventually be able to transplant these substitute parts of a body on a habitual basis directly from the laboratory. Anthony Atala is currently employed [...]

A bioscience investigation conducted by scientists from the University of California, Berkeley, has recognized vital biochemical connections associated with human muscle senescence. When researchers asserted control over these connective pathways they actually reversed the clock on older human muscle tissue and rejuvenated its innate capability to mend and restore itself. Their discoveries will be published [...]

Recently, the National Institutes of Health stated that it had given approval for thirteen new human embryonic stem cell lines to be used by the researchers who are being researchers financed federally, with ninety-six extra under review. The action is a result of President Obama’s decision to develop the number of such cell lines further [...]
