Molecular biology


Your genome is your genetic code that makes you who you are. You inherit your genes from your parents and that affects a lot of who and what you are in this world. Sometimes it may be possible to tweak our genes or add good copies of genes or even completely

new genes all for the purpose of making our quality of life better. This can help us to treat genetic diseases or even allow the body to repair and regenerate tissues and organs through the bodies own processes of bio-genesis.

Maintaining accurate protein folding and protein clearance is all part of protein homeostasis. Understanding more about the human proteome is vital for rejuvenation of the human body. Here we explore this subject in great detail. More
The Microbiome of the human body is the totality of microbes, their genomes, and their environmental interactions.


Total microbial cells found in association with humans may exceed the total number of cells making up the human body by a factor of ten-to-one. The total number of genes associated with the human microbiome could exceed the total number of human genes by a factor of 100-to-one. Many of these organisms have not been successfully cultured, identified, or otherwise characterized. Organisms expected to be found in the human microbiome, however, may generally be categorized as bacteria (the majority), members of domain Archaea, yeasts, and single-celled eukaryotes as well as various helminth parasites and viruses, the latter including viruses that infect the cellular microbiome organisms (e.g., bacteriophages, the viruses of bacteria).

Rather than just cramming our bones with calcium we require a delicate homeostasis to maintain the proper balance of minerals and healthy tissues. This is the same for many other organs in the body. Here we review this subject further.



Mitochondria are like the powerplants within the cells in our body. We look at mitochondria and how to keep them happy and free from infections which can drain you of your energy. More
In recent years a lot of controversy has come to the anti-aging scene regarding the possibility that much of the aging process is relating to the damage caused by biological pathogens e.g. intracellular and extracellular bacteria, fungi and viruses and the bodies program to gracefully and altruistically try to destroy and shut itself down in response to chronic infection. While the issue divides the life extension community with some believing most of aging is caused by biological pathogens and others believing that it isn't we lean towards the view that most aging is actually caused by biological pathogens.

Having said that even if it isn't we would like to say that a non-zero percentage of the aging process is caused by them and we aim to stop and reverse all damage that occurs at this level. This view should be compatible with having a "neutral point of view" NPOV

Cancer is almost certain in biology due to the nature of random mutations in dividing cell populations and one day each and every one of us will themselves or have someone close to them come face to face with this menace. Does it have to be this way? We use the power of the web and opensource collaboration to look into how you can reduce the risk of cancer or what you might be able to do to stop it if it has already occurred.

Some bacteria may actually be beneficial to maintain symbiosis. Bacteria can also be what is known as commensal and it is always possible that some of the bacteria in the human microbiome is either beneficial or is simply far less harmful than (and may even help fight off) other pathogenic strains of bacteria. We will look into this as well. More
