LysoSENS Is Recruiting

LysoSENS Is Recruiting: "As researcher John Schloendorn notes over at the Immortality Institute, the portion of the LysoSENS research program based in Tempe is actively recruiting: 'We offer: the opportunity to truly make a difference and bring SENS (Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence) research forward. Flexible conditions: Your responsibilities will reflect your qualifications; apply to come for weeks, months or permanently. Cutting edge working environment and a reputable entry on your CV. Research credits for a degree at Arizona State, if you are pursuing one. If elsewhere, you can probably get this work accredited, too. Enabling financial support, but no competitive salary. We want: The motivation to make personal sacrifices in order to help with curing aging and experience in molecular biology.' It is good to see growth in the first SENS research project funded by Methuselah Foundation donors.

Magnetism and mimicry of nature hold hope for better medicine, environmental safety

Magnetism and mimicry of nature hold hope for better medicine, environmental safety: "Critical advances in medicine and environmental protection promise to emerge from a new method for biochemical analysis of fluids developed by an international science team led in part by Arizona State University researchers. Called 'digital magnetofluidics,' it promises more rapid, more accurate and less costly analyses of water and biological fluids -- blood, urine, saliva -- that require only miniscule amounts of fluids."

Profile of a Tissue Engineer

Profile of a Tissue Engineer: "The New York Times profiles researcher Anthony Atala: 'The field of tissue engineering is large in this endeavor, with researchers like Dr. Atala exploring a basic approach. To repair or replace parts, they seed a biodegradable scaffold with cells and insert it into the body, where the cells, if all goes smoothly, mature into functioning tissue. At the institute, he and more than 80 colleagues are working on tissue replacement projects for practically every body part - blood vessels and nerves, muscles, cartilage and bones, esophagus and trachea, pancreas, kidneys, liver, heart and even uterus. In the long term, the scientists hope, patients may no longer have to wait on the national transplant list 'for someone to die so they can live,' as Dr. Atala puts it. Organs could be tailor-made for people.'
