Cited as a reference in threads on telomeres, lifespan extension and longevity research funding, mainly for the nutrigenomics and epigenetics material.
Rhonda Patrick gives an IHMC talk on how genetic variation affects micronutrient absorption and metabolism, and how diet changes gene expression. It also covers epigenetics, including heritable changes, and stress tolerance.
It's also interesting to note how we can affect the length of our Telomeres via Telomerase and FOXO3 genes using micronutrients such as Vitamin D, magnesium as described here [this video] This is being worked on by companies in the epigenetics and human life extension areas: [link] (Google and Genentech) [link] (Berkeley Lab) [link] (Aubrey De Grey & Peter Theil)
Explains micronutrients like vitamin D and magnesium affecting telomerase and FOXO3.
Were almost near the starting line with research and companies like Human Longevity, CalicoLabs(Google,Genentech), GenoPharmix, Buck Institute, SENS Foundation and this: Cynthia Kenyon: Experiments that hint of longer [link] Epigentics and extending human lifespan: [this video]
AI applied to understanding the hidden relationships linking epigentics and extending human lifespan via algorithmically engineered diet, nutrition and longevity genomics: The precedent: Laura Deming: Making a business out of fighting the ills of aging [link] Cynthia Kenyon: Experiments that hint of longer lives (Cynthia now works at Google's Calico Labs) [link] Now connect this: Nutrigenomics, Epigenetics, and Stress Tolerance [this video] Now combine with: What is Epigenetics? with Nessa Carey The last 10mins are very important, in particular minute 35:06 [link] Statistical modeling of biomedical corpora: mining the Caenorhabditis Genetic Center Bibliography for genes related to life span - Blei DM1, Franks K, Jordan MI, Mian IS. - [link] Combining the worlds variants of pattern recogition, machine learning and AI with data associated to epigentic and standard genomic experiments and information, we should be able to discover hidden relationships that will enable advancement in extending human lifespan. Revenue is something we'll need to focus on and that may come in the form of consumer applications that algorithmically engineer their epigenome with data from companies like 23andMe, Navigenics, Ubiome etc. connected to Nutrigenomics including plant compounds, phytochemicals mapped all the way to the consumer through foods connected to apps connected shopping and recipe experiences. Finally connect to CRISPR and Gene Therapy Jennifer Doudna, inventor of CRISPR: We can now edit o
Part of a chain of sources linking nutrigenomics and lifespan.
