Great hopes! But I still think maybe it's easier for programmable nanobots with MHC complex attached to it to fix individual cells to allow us to live longer. Or maybe even change the hardware for $BRAIN_SOFTWARE.
- echelon 7y agoOne of the reasons cells die is to fend off cancer. A hallmark of cancer is cell immortalization. The body has a multitude programmed cell death pathways for this reason. And if the cells themselves decide not to die, the immune system kicks in to help (so long as the cancer doesn't out-evolve detection). We must be very careful here. I am not a doctor, but my advice for those looking to live longer in an age where we don't have a magic pill : - eat right - get plenty of cardiovascular exercise - avoid stess - avoid inflammation, especially chronic
