"Some people just have their heads frozen, believing that in the future they'll be able to use another body," said Tanya Jones, Alcor's chief operating officer. "If you're having your head frozen, it will cost $80,000. The whole body is $150,000." This omits any discussion of the method most folks - of very modest means - use to fund their suspension: life insurance . At the time of writing, a 30-year-old can get a 20 year term policy with a face value of $120,000 for as little as $180 per year if she is a non-smoker and in good health. Starving students can fund it - so you certainly can. You should look on a cryonic suspension agreement as a form of life insurance of its own; it's the best presently available option that gives some chance of avoiding irreversible death if it comes to that. Statistics and common sense tells us that we aren't all going to make it into the era of radical life extension . No-one likes to think about these things, but the consequences of failing to be responsible in any matters of insurance can be dire indeed.

Digging into the fundament is important - knowing the biochemistry of stem cells means knowing how to control stem cells , and that's the first step on a number of very useful roads . We have this from last month : ... a typical course of hyperbaric oxygen treatments increases by eight-fold the number of stem cells circulating in a patient's body. ... We reproduced the observations from humans in animals in order to identify the mechanism for the hyperbaric oxygen effect. We found that hyperbaric oxygen mobilizes stem/progenitor cells because it increases synthesis of a molecule called nitric oxide in the bone marrow. This synthesis is thought to trigger enzymes that mediate stem/progenitor cell release. Following that, more interesting research in the past few days : The problem is rooted in the body's response to vascular injury. The bone marrow churns out cells crucial to repairing the damaged lining of blood vessels. But sometimes they fail to report for duty. "Part of the defect we think is occurring in diabetic patients is these cells do not carry out appropriate repair, and therefore these patients are at higher risk for cardiovascular disease and other complications," Segal said. ... UF researchers isolated these repair cells from blood samples drawn from patients with diabetes and chronic kidney disease and studied them in the laboratory. The cells were unable to move about normally. But when nitric oxide gas was added, Segal said, the cells lost their rigidity, becoming suppler, and their ability to move dramatically improved. In the body, nitric oxide occurs naturally. It helps the repair cells move out of the bone marrow where they are made, and it opens blood vessels and improves the uptake of oxygen. Patients with diabetes, however, commonly have low levels of nitric oxide. "We went on to show that actually what's happening is nitric oxide is affecting the skeleton, or scaffold of the cell, and by adding nitric oxide we're able to rearrange the scaffold," Segal said. "When we rearrange the scaffold, the cells are able to migrate. The benefit of this is that when cells have improved movement they are able to repair the endothelium (the lining of the blood vessels) better and perhaps prevent atherosclerosis." Diabetes acts somewhat like accelerated aging in a number of ways, and has been used as a proxy for aging research in the past. Methodologies that offer the possibility of restoring failing stem cells to duty , or enhancing the capabilities of stem cells in the healthy, are intriguing, to say the least.

There's even an RSS feed for those of you who have progressed beyond email, and you can take a look back at the archive of past newsletters to see if you like what you see before diving in. Here's a thought for the day from the January 16th newsletter: If you're healthy, young, and manage to avoid appalling bad luck in the genetic sweepstakes, the future of your longevity and health over the next few decades is all up to you. The advance of medical science makes little difference one way or another - whether you wind up a wreck or not is a function of how you make use of the best strategies for healthy life extension available today - calorie restriction, supplementation, exercise, general good health practices ... the things that aren't rocket science. As time progresses, however, your remaining healthy life span will be determined ever more by the past rate of progress in longevity research - in other words, how effective the best affordable healthy life extension technologies have become. You have a chance today to make a difference in that rate of progress, to make the future of healthy life extension medicine arrive that much faster; wouldn't it be a good idea to take that chance? You should certainly do the best you can with the health tools, techniques and technologies of today, but also take time to consider the long-term view. Supporting medical research into extending healthy longevity is important - and it will become ever more important as time goes on that you made the effort to help the development of better longevity medicine.

Kotlikoff paper entitled "Some Economic Implications of Life Span Extension" that I think you'll find interesting. The full PDF version is online , a graphic reminder of a time in which typewriters ruled the earth: This paper is concerned with the following question: what would the economy look like if we suddenly discovered the fountain of youth? While this question may seem fanciful, a growing number of contemporary Ponce de Leons with impressive scientific credentials argue that there is a significant chance of unraveling the mystery of aging in the near future. ... In this paper I concentrate on the implications of life span extension for aggregate factor supply and economic welfare. While this the major focus of the paper, I also devote some space to consideration of life span extension's impact on the economy's skill composition and on existing economic institutions, including the social security system. The major conclusion I draw from my work is that the expansion of working and total life spans should significantly increase economic welfare. ... Throughout the paper, "life span extension" is taken to mean keeping people young for longer periods of time. This is quite different from what one conventionally means by life span extension, namely, keeping old people alive for longer periods. Ah, how we still struggle with this young (healthy) life extension versus old life extension perception today! We call it the Tithonus Error . As we all know, the past generation of advocates failed to establish a research program to match that devoted to cancer or even AIDS, and the widespread public support and understanding such a program requires. The science turned out, as it always does, to be far more complex than anticipated. Hence today we can read a paper set down in 1979 with few signs of its date beyond the typefont. We must do far better now and over the next 25 years - hundreds of millions of lives will be lost if we fail again. On a slightly related topic, the Wall Street Journal ran a prominent article on the legal methodologies of keeping your finances frozen and yours while in cryonic suspension and thus legally dead. The full text is posted at transhumantech as is usual for this sort of thing: At least a dozen wealthy businessmen who plan to be frozen after death are testing unfamiliar legal territory by creating so-called personal revival trusts designed to allow them to reclaim their riches years into the future.

Max More notes: In case anyone is looking for an excuse to pick up a copy of Larry Flynt's Hustler magazine, note that the March 2006 issue (now available) features my cover article, "How to Live Forever." Flip past the lovely Victoria to p.43 and you'll find it. Have fun. In addition, the February issue of Life Extension Magazine will feature a Ben Best interview with Aubrey de Grey , covering a range of topics of interest: the Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence (SENS) , the MPrize , fundraising and advocacy for healthy life extension science, cryonics and the state of scientific anti-aging research today. Keep an eye out for it. Lastly, the full text of the New Scientist article on aging and mitochondrial science - the piece that prompted a clarifying response from researcher Rafal Smigrodzki - has found its way to the transhumantech list . Take a look and see what you think - overenthusiasm on the part of the author or not? For more information on the work Smigrodzki is a part of - and its relevance to repairing age-related cellular damage - you might want to look back at the Fight Aging! archives . To my mind this research group certainly deserves the attention they are receiving. Technorati tags: life extension , science Posted by Reason at 06:50 PM Permanent Link | View Comments (0) | Post Comment | TrackBack (0) -- Friday, January 20, 2006 Effects of Healthy Life Extension on Social Security - Volunteers Wanted Biomedical gerontologist Aubrey de Grey , chairman of the Methuselah Foundation and someone you may recognise from his recent appearance on 60 Minutes , has suggested a volunteer project suitable for economists and statisticians interested in generating greater support and funding for healthy life extension : A discussion within the Methuselah Foundation has resulted in the idea that it would be good to determine how effective SENS (or equivalently powerful interventions) would be economically: that is, how much they would need to cost before the cost outweighs the economic benefits of keeping someone healthy. Here we are mainly interested in the macroeconomic question, i.e. "cost" is to be understood as how much it costs to administer the therapies (and possibly also to develop them in the first place) rather than how much they might be sold for. Plenty of work has of course been done on this in respect of much more modest [life extension], but no one has quite had the nerve to do it for therapies that conferred escape velocity . I am in touch with people with the necessary enabling technology (datasets, software) to develop such forecasts, but it would probably still be a substantial project. If there are any volunteers who feel they have the right sort of expertise (which means pretty good maths, not just computing) and also a chunk of time to dedicate, please speak up. No guarantees that we can make such a project happen, but we'd like to try. A discussion is ongoing at the Immortality Institute forums ; if this catches your interest, you should certainly drop by and speak up. You might also want to look back in the Fight Aging! archives at a view of the future of retirement (or absence of same), some thoughts on social security and age-related frailty , and commentary on the utter mess that is modern Western-style "social security" .

These cards are a helpful educational tool for certain demographics, so it seems worth noting that you can now buy hardcopy decks of the cards at the SAGE Crossroads website. I can think of at least a few folks amongst the regular readers who will appreciate that. Get your very own collection of SAGECrossroads Trading Cards! This first edition pack includes 50 cards featuring leading researchers working to unlock the mysteries of aging. Each card includes a photograph, quick summary of the researcher's work, and essential information such as specialty and favorite gene. While I'm on the subject, I'll say that I think it's a shame SAGE Crossroads has fallen off the publishing wagon of late. I suppose the powers that be have more or less curtailed the experiment; as I understand it, the website never achieved the level of popularity that would make it a good investment at the price. Less politics and more science would have garnered more inbound links from my side of the camp, but - judging by the distressing popularity of all things politics these days - that may be poor advice for any listening webmaster-to-be.

It is in a class of drugs called neurotoxins. When considering neurotoxin therapy, it is important to understand how the product works, the history of its use in patients, its protein content, and possible side effects. Q. What is BOTOX? A. BOTOX is a novel therapeutic agent derived from the bacterium, Clostridium Botulinum. Also known as Botulinum Toxin Type A, the brand BOTOX is produced in controlled laboratory conditions and given in extremely small therapeutic doses. BOTOX is indicated for the treatment of blepharospasm associated with dystonia in patients 12 years of age and above. BOTOX is being investigated for several conditions associated with overactive muscle activity. Botulinum Toxin Type A is the most studied of the seven different serotypes of botulinum toxin (A, B, C 1 , D, E, F, G). Each serotype has different properties and actions. No two are exactly alike. Q . How does BOTOX work? A. Normally your brain sends electrical messages to your muscles so that they can contract and move. The electrical message is transmitted to the muscle by a substance called acetylcholine. BOTOX works to block the release of acetylcholine and, as a result, the muscle doesn't receive the message to contract. This means that the muscle spasms stop or are greatly reduced after using BOTOX, providing predictable and reliable relief from symptoms. BOTOX is not a cure. For many patients, however, its effects have been dramatic - symptoms usually begin to dissipate within a few days and the effects can last for approximately three months. Q . How is BOTOX administered? A. BOTOX is injected into the muscle. Your doctor will determine the muscle(s) in need of treatment. Q . Does the treatment hurt? A. A very fine needle is used for the one to three injections that are usually given per muscle. Some patients report minor and temporary discomfort from treatment. Q . When does BOTOX start to work? A. Usually, you will see the effects of BOTOX within three days. The maximum benefit is reached in one to two weeks. Q . How long does the effect last? A. Given its unique mechanism of action, BOTOX offers sustained relief, dose after dose over the course of long-term treatment. The relief you will feel from a single treatment of BOTOX will normally be sustained for approximately three months. You will notice a gradual fading of its effects. At this point, you will return to your doctor for your next treatment. Usually, BOTOX treatment is required only three or four times a year. Symptoms may vary throughout the course of the condition, and so the degree of relief and duration of effect varies from person to person. Consult your doctor, who has special knowledge about how to achieve the best possible results with BOTOX for your individual case. Q . How long can I be treated with BOTOX? A. Treatment with BOTOX can typically be repeated indefinitely. BOTOX has been used for over 10 years worldwide. Acceptable safety in long-term treatment has been well established. There are a number of factors that can impact the long-term usage of BOTOX. These include: Appropriate muscle selection - Identifying and injecting the affected muscle can be difficult, complicated by the changing pattern of muscle involvement and progression of the disorder. Adequate dosing - Changes in response may require dose adjustment. Minimizing exposure to neurotoxin complex proteins 1 - Botulinum toxins contain proteins. In certain circumstances, when foreign proteins enter the body, the natural response is to form antibodies to the protein. When antibodies are formed, the effect may be that one is no longer able to respond to the therapy. High doses and frequent injections of botulinum toxin have been linked to the formation of antibodies. Antibody formation with BOTOX is rare. The likelihood of forming antibodies is reduced by having treatment no more frequently than about every three months. BOTOX has only 5 ng of neurotoxin complex proteins per 100 unit vial, a relatively low amount of protein, which may help to further minimize the potential to form antibodies. Q . Is BOTOX a new treatment? A. No. BOTOX has been used for over 10 years in thousands of patients worldwide. The American Academy of Neurology, American Academy of Ophthalmology, and National Institutes of Health have recognized BOTOX (Botulinum Toxin Type A) as a valuable treatment. Q . Is BOTOX right for me? A. Ask your doctor if BOTOX is the right treatment for you. BOTOX should not be used during pregnancy, if you are nursing, or if you are taking certain medications. Only your physician can determine the best course of therapy. The effects of BOTOX may be increased with the use of certain antibiotics or other drugs that interfere with neuromuscular transmission. Ensure that your doctor is aware of any current medications you are taking. If you have any questions regarding the use of BOTOX treatment, please consult your doctor. Q . What side effects may be experienced when using BOTOX? A. All medications have some side effects. With BOTOX, side effects are usually transient and mild to moderate in nature. Some people notice temporary weakness of muscles or discomfort at the injection site. Based on a recent study of BOTOX in the treatment of blepharospasm, drooping of the eyelid occurred in 20.8% of patients. Other side effects may include eye irritation/dry eye/tearing/light sensitivity (10%), and superficial punctate keratitis. For more information go to www.botox.com
