A Story about ‘Immortal’ Cells of Henrietta Lacks

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 [...]

Human Biological Immortality Can Be Achieved With Perpetual-Equalising Interventions

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 [...]

Fighting Aging: Reproduction A Confirmed Way to Rejuvenate Cells

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 [...]

Fertility Can Be Extended – 20 years frozen Embryo Used For a Baby Boy

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 [...]

Off The Menu Organ Procurement

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 [...]

Evidence Discovered That Could Reverse Aging Of Human Muscle Tissue

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 [...]

New Stem Cell Lines Exposed to Research

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 [...]

Protein Pump Function Lost In Aging Cells

A Klatch of proteins to siphon molecules transversely via cell membranes could assist in understanding why yeast cells and possibly other living matter, are unable to continue creating duplicates of themselves ad infinitum. These similar proteins likewise may explain the link with cancer and stem cell replication.  Much like our own cells, yeast cells have [...]
