Have Researchers Finally Discovered A Fountain Of Youth?

This is exciting news! An article posted on the Singularity Hub describes promising results on an anti-aging drug . "When treated with the drug, aged mice regrew their scraggly fur into luscious coats and saw improved liver and kidney functions. They also seemed more energized, opting to spend their time on a running wheel instead of sleeping in a corner. Rather than a synthetic chemical, the drug is a small  peptide  made up of amino acids, the building blocks of protein. Similar peptide drugs are already  revolutionizing stroke therapy , and the team plans to begin human safety trials with their anti-aging drug soon." Hurry up on the research! Hurry!

Nanotech

If I were young again, and wondering what I would do with my life (although I am still wondering today), one word: nanotechnology! It's the future! The possibilities are endless!

Just one word. Benjamin : Yes, sir. Mr. McGuire : Are you listening? Benjamin : Yes, I am. Mr. McGuire :  Plastics. Benjamin : Exactly how do you mean? Mr. McGuire : There's a great future in plastics. Think about it. Will you think about it?
