17.11.2009Biologist Arthur Lander believes that the search for a complex of molecular characteristics that are universal for all stem cells is an overly simplistic view that can direct the development of science in the wrong direction.
05.10.2009Nano- and biotechnologies seem to be completely opposite, but they lead us to the same result – to a fundamental change in a person. The development of bioengineering can easily lead us to immortality...
30.09.2009The rapid development of technology can lead to the emergence of immortality in 20 years. At least according to one of the forecasts.

23.04.2009Experts started talking about the possible existence of a shadow market for human organ trafficking in Ukraine in 2006, when the number of kidney transplant operations almost doubled. This is evidenced by the data of the Coordination Center of Transplantology of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. Doctors explain: they say, relatives have become more likely to donate their organs. However, experts insist: the market of commercial donors is flourishing in our country.
13.04.2009Despite the lack of consensus on resveratrol, the demand for it has generated interest in epigenetics, which studies a wide range of substances, including dietary supplements that increase gene expression and possibly influence the course of diseases and the aging process.
30.03.2009Cautious scientists note that none of the studies of the aging process has yet achieved a breakthrough in this area. They draw attention to the need to distinguish the pseudoscientific production of anti-aging products from the genuine science of aging and declare that it is not yet possible to stop, slow down or reverse the passage of time.
