CAON Owns Patent To Change Global Construction!
Chan-On International Inc.
Symbol: CAON
Close: $0.75 UP
Among the 12 patents CAON recently acquired is a design for turning
industrial plastic and ash waste into wallboard to replace drywall. it
is not only a reduction in cost for developers, it is environmentally
safe and longer lasting than regular drywall. This company has the edge.
Get on CAON first thing Wednesday.
Additionally, for the well-studied species in which life extension is
observed, there is considerable variation in the response.
This is a sea change from even a decade ago, and a promising sign that
volunteer activism can still make a real difference to the path taken by
scientific research.
"DISCUSSIONThe highlights and headlines from the past week follow below.
We previously found that centenarians were more likely to have a certain
variant of the gene for microsomal transfer protein, which plays a role
in packaging cholesterol.
Why then is it so much harder to persuade people to fight aging for
exactly the same reasons?
phpWhat does it all mean? By manipulating genes that control these
mechanisms, researchers have found they can generate more stress
resistant, longer-lived organisms.
Scientists found that treated animals had twice the number of
proliferating neurons as control animals, and that many of the newly
generated cells appeared to develop into dopamine neurons. Encourage the
people you know to pitch in and make a difference to the future of
health and longevity!

Fight Aging! Using human embryonic stem cell culture conditions, the
researchers isolated and grew a new type of multipotent adult stem cell
from scalp tissue . In the long term, the scientists hope, patients may
no longer have to wait on the national transplant list 'for someone to
die so they can live,' as Dr.
Some are more readily driven down a certain lineage, such as heart
cells, while others more easily become nerve. Men who had respiratory
infections or measles tended to develop chronic lung disease decades
later. phpOf greatest interest to me is the work on aging mitochondria,
those powerhouses of cells implicated in many age-related conditions and
thought to be involved in one root cause of aging. What we're looking at
here is simply the loss of progranulin that is causing the disease .
Entrepreneur and futurist Ray Kurzweil continues to do a good job in
selling the commonsense fundamentals of futurism to the public:
"Biological processes are essentially programming processes.
This is a sea change from even a decade ago, and a promising sign that
volunteer activism can still make a real difference to the path taken by
scientific research.
" The first of the first generation autologous and transplant stem cell
therapies are moving ahead successfully today, but sophistication,
reliability and better economics take time. The field in general is not
so narrow-minded as to ignore the view of minds so eminent as the SENS
Challenge panel, however. "Diseases early in life left people
predisposed to chronic illnesses when they grew older.
My view is the exact opposite: that the detail of SENS is what makes it
feasible.
Yesterday, the CMI acknowledged after the release of its latest set of
tables that there was so much room for error it was no longer sensible
to offer a single set of predictions. Hence a panel who came in with
essentially no knowledge of SENS and studied it only quite briefly would
be almost certain to doubt its feasibility.
people who study aging trends believe that life expectancies for the old
will continue to grow longer. Reliability theory suggests that gains in
health and function during youth selected for in this manner will
incidentally lead to increased longevity - less oxidative damage leads
to a longer life. Glenn Laboratories for the Biological Mechanisms of
Aging is already appearing on published research. Such fields are
thought to guide moving cells by a process known as electrotaxis, in
order to heal the wound.
