Winter Quarter First DNA extraction of O and B flies using a QPCR kit. Samples were sent to Illumina for sequencing. Started testing a resveratrol analog, Pine Bark extract, on “B” flies at the recommendation of Dr. Spindler at UCR. We tested varying doses of Pine Bark extract alone and in combination with Uridine, which […]
Interpretation of genetic data from fruit flies bred for longevity suggests the major culprit may not be accumulated damage…
The investment was made by private investors with an interest in the rapidly growing field of nutrigenomics…
Gregory Benford, Chairman of the Board of Genescient Corporation, will discuss Genescient’s approach to expanded longevity and will discuss some of its latest results, at The Singularity Summit 09.
Genescient study suggests that, when long-term effects are considered, two commonly ingested stimulants are not created equal. The study compares…
Aging is not simply an accumulation of damage or inappropriate higher-order signaling. Aging occurs because…
Genescient Corporation and Kronos Science Laboratory will work together to analyze the Kronos Alzheimer’s Case-Control Database, considered to be the finest Alzheimer’s Disease genetic data set in the US. The companies hope to identify genes previously unrecognized genes that are involved in Alzheimer’s Disease.
Evolutionary biology provides the only cogent, formally developed, and experimentally corroborated theory for biological ageing. In this essay, we supply a brisk run through the highlights of evolutionary research on the biology of ageing.
Through selective breeding, Dr. Rose was able to create a long-lived line of creatures he called Methuselah flies. He then put his research into reverse and developed flies with much shortened life spans.
This Discover magazine article from 1992, discusses Methuselah genes.
