THE BIOLOGY OF AGEING is another frontier now yielding remarkable insights.
Ageing in the human body is believed to be closely tied to structures known as telomeres -protective caps at the end of chromosomes that shorten with each cell division.
WHEN telomeres becomes too short, cell stop dividing and enter a state of senescence, leading to the physical and functional declines associated with ageing.
Researchers have discovered a compound called resveratrol, found naturally in red grapes, that appears to activate an enzyme capable of preserving or even lengthening telomeres.
In experiments with mice, Resveratrol extended lifespan and improved health markers, suggesting the potential for future of anti-ageing therapies in humans.
Other compounds that prolong aging include Metformin, Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide [NAD] and Curcumin.
Equally fascinating are the advances in computer-brain interfaces [BCIs] which allows machines to be controlled by thought alone.
The human brain emits different electrical signals, with beta waves particularly significant in decision making and action.
By wearing a cap embedded with sensors, individuals can generate and transmit these signals to computers, wheelchairs or other devices.
This has profound implications for people with severe disabilities. A completely paralyzed person could navigate a wheelchair or control a vehicle simply by thinking.
A commercially available armband called '' Body Wave '' can similarly read neuromuscular signals and translate them into commands.
These groundbreaking innovations are not just marvels of science but transformative tools with the potential to change the trajectory of human development.
Science, technology, innovation and entrepreneurship must be placed at the core of every country's development strategy. All universities and research institutions must be empowered and adequately funded to foster a culture of inquiry and discovery.
The World Students Society will Rise and Rise but only on the Power of Innovation. !WOW! thanks Scientist Atta-ur-Rehman most humbly and with great honours.
