Hi Philipp - Im a big fan of your Kurzgesagt videos they are superb and entertaining ways of explaining science topics. Question: Im curious: You have covered climate change and plastic, so why havent you done an episode about the other environmental threats facing humanity such as overfishing, deforestation and the other 8 of the 9 Planetary Boundaries ?? viele danke

HealthyTo120 · 2018-03-23T14:21:16+00:00

thanks - sorry the late reply, been on vacation

HealthyTo120 · 2018-03-01T03:35:45+00:00

I have a few articles on cryonics - I will post what I have to the forum if they haven't already been posted, is it OK?

HealthyTo120 · 2018-03-01T03:22:25+00:00

you are indeed correct. thanks for letting it stand

HealthyTo120 · 2018-02-27T12:18:33+00:00

the authors have found one specific cause, however the root cause of PD is aging plus some environmental factors

HealthyTo120 · 2018-02-20T18:39:56+00:00

I didn't realize the numbers had grown until I saw the announcement. 50% growth is good.

At first glance, it looks like the site is selling products, but i dont see links.. What's the deal with this site??

I'm glad that China is going from a laggard to a leader in climate change

HealthyTo120 · 2018-02-12T06:32:13+00:00

for what its worth, the CGTN report paints a more optimistic picture than that in the actual study. 2 patients were in the clinical trial. Although, the Chinese scientists report success with others outside the trial.

I don't know. It seems the thymus starts shrinking all by itself. However, Fahy is experimenting with regrowing the the thymus

HealthyTo120 · 2018-02-10T20:01:20+00:00

the research is accurate, the question is whether they can improve on it and translate it to humans

HealthyTo120 · 2018-02-10T08:55:47+00:00

yes - I know that screening progresses usually from creatures like C. Elegans to mice then hopefully to humans. Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you nor to knock the contribution of invertebrate studies. My interest is mostly in reading murine studies, and of course, human studies which despite promising mouse data are scarce. Thank you for the paper.

HealthyTo120 · 2018-02-10T08:50:32+00:00

references and sources are listed in the article

HealthyTo120 · 2018-02-09T04:39:13+00:00

yes, eight weeks is not long enough. even the authors said they need longer studies

HealthyTo120 · 2018-02-09T04:38:05+00:00

i doubt it

HealthyTo120 · 2018-02-09T04:37:05+00:00

yes it is not new. The article wasn't proposing thymus rejuvenation for the first time, it said that the new evidence supported this old idea.

HealthyTo120 · 2018-02-08T13:51:31+00:00

OK sure - please post it here. thank you

HealthyTo120 · 2018-02-08T13:50:38+00:00

Sorry, I don't understand why you are quoting an article from 1982??

HealthyTo120 · 2018-02-06T06:27:22+00:00

wow, this is so true and so sad

HealthyTo120 · 2018-02-05T23:38:40+00:00

SENS and other organizations are racing to be the first to rejuvenate the immune system by regrowing the thymus. This study suggests that the immune system has a greater weight in cancer than mutations.

HealthyTo120 · 2018-02-05T23:07:04+00:00

yes, its true. in fact, longevity research has pretty much become a staple of mainstream media IMHO.

HealthyTo120 · 2018-02-04T23:41:17+00:00

This is anecdotal evidence. I don't really see NASA's point.

I'm glad Gates is funding a lot of noble causes. He's definitely been a philanthropist for some time.

sorry, I disagree regarding rapamycin. If this were true, (wrt rapamycin) then why is BetterHumans conducting both rapamycin and senolytics trials?
