My studies are motivated by the dream of eternal youth, and all the implications of eternal youth for society at large. Currently, my studies primarily revolve around the topics of telomere maintenance, and cellular senescence. My current theory for the attainment of eternal youth involves the genetic editing of macrophages for the better detection and digestion of senescent cells, followed by upregulation of telomerase in stem cells to prevent stem cell exhaustion. Macrophages already digest most senescent cells and stem cells already attenuate most of their telomere loss, but both processes are incomplete. I think reinforcing these pre-existing rejuvenating mechanisms is the best way to combat aging; However, this view is simple and truth resists simplicity. I expect that continued education will complicate my views. I hope that conversations with those in this community will challenge my views and broaden my perspective.

Hello and :welcome: !

Please note that we do not discuss unpublished work on PF and that publications automatically imply the property scientific.

Have fun and stay curious!
 
Thank you for the warm welcome, and the warning.
 
I am retired with a scientific background in Mathematics and Physics though I quit Academia after graduation. Recently, my interest has revived and I have started to review what I knew before and learn new stuff. My interests are in Physics and Mathematical Physics. I hope I can find answers to some of my questions here and perhaps in the future, I can also answers some questions. How have I arrived here? During the past two months, I have been doing some online research to find the best...
