Aging reversal ... "The bridge between molecular and cellular worlds is being built. It’s a whole new world …" Ewan Birney 


Ma, Sandy, All,



Interesting that the head of the NIH stepped down the other day. Here's Stanford Law & 'ethical, legal, and social implications of new biomedical technologies' Prof Hank Greely -

"Can't say I've always agreed w/what he {Francis Collins} has done but, on balance, I think he has been a very positive influence at NIH. I hope he is able to enjoy a long and healthy retirement. (And work on his guitar playing!)"

In what ways could this lead to the large central National Institute of Health (NIH) agency focusing on aging reversal with a new head?

What do you think?

And what do you think Greely is referring to -
" “I don’t think people are going to do that,” says Stanford University bioethicist Hank Greely ..." - https://law.stanford.edu/press/george-church-wants-to-make-matchmaking-a-reality/ ? ... And  (and https://twitter.com/HankGreelyLSJU/status/994204874400202752) ?

Thoughts questions ideas suggestions?

Warmly, Scott


PS 
Here's an article on Covid-19 and aging reversal research -

COVID-19 the new disease of growing old, hastening the work of anti-aging scientists: 
The scientists are searching for drugs and diet supplements that could tweak human biology to better withstand the ravages of time

Thanks.  I don’t give much thought to aging reversal and I am curious about your interest in it.  To what end?  Yes, I do love life and fully intend to live to 100, but aging reversal seems a bridge too far and not sure it’s worth pursuing.   What am I missing??

Re: Aging Reversal

Tym, thanks!

If there's some possibility that we could reverse aging per Harvard & MIT Professor of Genetics' George Church in this 60 Minutes' minute-long video  - 

https://youtu.be/bnCEIPQFNnk (by adding genes back in) - via genetic engineering and also live for 100s of years + (even in 30 year olds' bodyminds), the world would be a very very different place.

(Calorie restriction with good nutrition has been the only proven way to extend life an incredible ~10-15 %, across species up to this point - https://sitn.hms.harvard.edu/flash/2020/can-calorie-restriction-extend-your-lifespan/ - which I think I learned about at Reed, but was interested to read this Harvard article published last August 2020, in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic). 

It's a radical re-envisioning of life in the middle of the genetic engineering revolution, that might work, especially with the advances in vaccine production of the past 18 months. Looking forward to talking with you at 150 years of age+ if it does! 

Could this be further facilitated with new IT tools in a realistic virtual earth for genetics -

  https://twitter.com/TheOpenBand/status/1383620317059244037 - at Work World University and School even, and at the molecular and the cellular levels too (think Google Street View with Time Slider). Was glad to find these recent Tweets from geneticist Ewan Birney + at Cambridge University - 

"The bridge between molecular and cellular worlds is being built. It’s a whole new world …

Since life expectancy has declined for a broad swath of the US population due to regular 'ol health concerns, let's hope all the federal agencies that have a hand in public health work towards universal health care before we worry about extending life expectancy for the part of the population that can afford to live to 90+.

Susan! 


This would be great. And, brainstorming, Work World University and School seeks to code, brainstorming-wise, for all 7.8 billion people on planet for Avatar Bot Electronic Medical Records, each a Wikidata Pin #, ... and even planning for the precision of tele-robotic surgery - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/01/greta-oto-avatar-bot-electronic-medical.html?m=0 - with a definition, AND links to the beginning WUaS Medical Schools with Teaching Hospitals. WUaS would seek to facilitate further a kind of actual-virtual, physical-digital universal healthcare. Meanwhile, am appreciative of Obamacare health insurance; and what you think and write makes sense re aging reversal genetic drug therapies' emergence! I don't see either issue in the internet News I read, and haven't heard about these issues re selecting the next NIH head. It looks however like Francis Collins's laboratory at the NIH will continue under his direction after he retires as head, and that it is conducting aging research -


"His lab also seeks to develop new genetic therapies for the most dramatic form of premature aging, Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome." 

https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/francis-collins-step-down-director-national-institutes-health.


Wil UBI Experiments with Stanford Mine Pi to all 7.8 billion people, each a Wikidata Pin # too, on the planet, to distribute also a single cryptocurrency backed by most of ~200 countries' central banks (with Nation States and mutual funds and others investing in Stanford Mine Pi on the Silicon Valley long-term stock exchange even via the WUaS Corporation play a role in planning financially for everyone who might live beyond 90, and even beyond 150+? Will this replace the US dollar, a de facto international currency, and the Euro in 19 of 28 countries in the EuroZone? Nation States' backed cryptocurrency questions will play huge roles in support of this who live beyond 90 and even 150! 

And how will 1 realistic virtual earth help as aging reversal genetic drug therapies emerge, and Avatar Bot Electronic Medical Records, and financing aging? The time slider aspects of Google Street View will aid with machine learning and artificial intelligence. 

Lots of opportunities for developments in health care, research and access!

Cheers, Scott


See upcoming blog post today, and with email to Tym too in the longevity blog label (different from aging reversal!)

Ma, Sandy, Tym, All, further, 


O my goodness, here's Brit Ewan Birney, and a leading Geneticist saying "The bridge between molecular and cellular worlds is being built. It’s a whole new world …" - https://twitter.com/ewanbirney/status/1446213948437639169  (https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/1446543264421593088?s=20) - and I've been calling for a single realistic virtual earth at the cellular, molecular/atomic, and Street View levels for a long time now ... with whole new worlds of Information Technology tools ahead here too ... and with much potential for aging reversal genetic engineering drug therapies ahead, and longevity too! 

Here's Ewan Birney in an interesting oral history from the National Human Genome Research Institute here - genome.gov/ with him - https://www.genome.gov/player/dCTxYJpilwQ/PL1ay9ko4A8sk0o9O-YhseFHzbU2I2HQQp ...


Talk with you in 150 years, possibly, and 250 years ... and how far ahead???? (Philosophical & scientific skepticism here is much warranted), but see the emails from Susan and you in these regards too! 

This blog post begins with 4 great rock and roll concerts from the '70s ! :)

Warm regards, 
Scott
