Researchers Have Found a Way to Delay Aging

...The researchers treated a group of 100-day-old genetically modified mice with a synthetic compound called SkQ1, an artificial antioxidant that targets the mitochondria. SkQ1 was developed in Moscow State University in Skulachev’s lab. ...By the time the mice aged 200-250 days, the control group had aged rapidly and lost weight, experienced a decrease in body weight and temperature, had osteoporosis, and were developing alopecia. There was also a decrease in mobility and oxygen intake — all signs of aging. On the other hand, these traits were dramatically decelerated for the mice treated with SkQ1.

...If all goes well and as expected, the drug can be approved for public use within 2-3 years.

Researchers Have Found a Way to Delay Aging

This study is a Swedish-Russian collaboration, focuses on the mitochondria and uses a synthetic compound called SkQ1 developed in Moscow State University. The drug is in clinical trials in Russia, and is expected to be approved for human use in 2-3 years.

Previous "anti-aging in mice" reports on ATS were about the US-Australian work with NAD, a natural enzyme.

As per usual, we might expect the benefits to go to the 1%, not the general public. Nobody wants billions of unemployed peasants who don't age running amok, fighting with the robots who stole their jobs.



US-Australian Studies on ATS:

Aging Successfully Reversed in Mice; Human Trials to Begin Next

Australian and US scientists reverse ageing in mice, humans could be next

And soon the pension/retirement age will be 80'ish.

Interesting anyway.

Great, now the Queen, David Rockefeller, Soros, and a bunch of other wealthy A holes will be around to **** up the times for even longer

And really all one has to do is follow a CRON (Calorie restrict with optimal nutrition) plan. A good whole plant-based nutrition plan will delay the aging process as well as prevent, treat and cure illness in many cases.

If that were the case then surely people would be doing it by the thousands if not millions not to mention be all over the news oh and no doubt big pharma trying to patent some of it

a reply to: PhyllidaDavenport

People are doing it by the thousands and millions. Unfortunately, most people are looking for a quick fix (supplement, pill, drink). I find that most people just don't know, or don't know where to begin. Then there are large groups of people that just don't have the time to think about food and/or eat mindfully. It's super easy to buy prepared food from the store, or take-out, or drive through... Big pharma can't patent an apple.

...Big pharma can't patent an apple.

Erm. Wrong. And one of the main reasons all our health is going South, fast. Most of the 'raw' food available to us is just as 'processed' as processed fast food.

Apple tree: Honeycrisp
US PP7197 P
ABSTRACT
An apple tree having a slightly upright form with moderately vigorous growth; a superior fruit with solid to mottled red color over a yellow background and a crisp and juicy fruit texture; an extended season of harvest but with generally even ripening of fruit so that repeat pickings are unnecessary; good hardiness with little winter injury when grown near Excelsior, Minn. at approximately 45° latitude; and having annual fruit production with no flower thinning required.

Good Fruit Grower: Patents and trademarks

The Plant Patent Act, enacted in 1930, was the first of its kind worldwide, Karen Hauda, attorney and advisor for the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, explained during a plant patent conference held recently at Pullman, Washington.

The act establishes a process for the breeder or discoverer to patent a single plant and its clones. Plants found in an uncultivated state are excluded from patent rights.

...Plant patent laws apply to reproducing, selling, or using the plant or any of its parts (such as fruit) in the United States or importing the plant or its parts. Patents are effective for 20 years from the filing date.

It's a synthetic compound that they have only begun to study, so there's no telling what longer-term effects it might have on the user.

Nice mention of Umbrella Labs - What if this compound actually prevented someone from "dying" as we know it, and instead allowed a soulless body to remain active and in a zombified-state? Nice premise for a Resident Evil-type of flick, huh?

It's a synthetic compound, so there's no telling what longer-term effects it might have on the user.

Uh huh. ...About the only reason we might see it released for 'public use' aka broad-based public trials. Like most other pharmaceuticals.

a reply to: soficrow

It seems it's tested only on genetically-modified mice, so I'm guessing in 2-3 years we'll have genetically-modified humans.

a reply to: soficrow

5 years from now, I would bet there will be a commercial by one of those predatory law firms seeking to file a class action lawsuit against the pharmaceutical company because of the gruesome side effects (like we see with hundreds of other medicines and medical procedures/devices today)

What I mean is a company like Abbot Labratories can't patent an apple for medicinal purposes. They wouldn't make enough money on the product and there'd no side effects for the disease care industry to treat with other drugs that cause other side effects. The whole problem is because rather than looking for the root cause of an ailment, we simply treat the symptom.

I'm more worried about the "side-effects" that take decades and generations to reveal themselves. Talk about an epigenetic retool!

You don't delay aging if you are not aware of the all agents acting on the process of growing old.

Manage your miserable lifespan!

a reply to: soficrow

Oh please. They count on the side effects to fatten up their paychecks!

You need to quit stealing my lines.

Hahaha... just kidding

a reply to: soficrow

Screw the side effects. What about the direct effects???

I'm just curious, exactly how many GD people does everyone think should be living on this planet at one time??? Because apparently 7 billion just isn't enough for some people. They won't be happy until there are so many people that we've wiped out all natural food and fresh water along with every other resource and we begin to eat each other and drink the blood of those we kill and build shelter from their bones and skin.

WTF is wrong with people???

a reply to: FamCore

Yeah, it'll probably be one of those things only the rich and famous can afford... We have a clinic here called "Age Know More," it's a sister company to "Weight Know More." Both help you lose weight and slow aging. But the Age Know More would cost you roughly $350 to $400 per week for pills and injections. Weight Know More costs you $120 per month.
