It seems like some researchers from the University California Berkeley had a breakthrough in the fight against aging (http://news.berkeley.edu/2018/04/25/long-sought-structure-of-telomerase-paves-way-for-drugs-for-aging-cancer/). Would be interesting to hear the opinion of Aubrey de Grey about this discovery and what it maybe means for his research.

It seems to be be quite an interesting discovery, these people are probably going to be on a run for the nobel prize. Would be indeed interesting hearing what Aubrey or any othe team member thinks about it.

Its a big discovery and if they can understand, whats going on in our DNA, they can make our live longer and healthier.
We can expect many new discoveries in the near future, because computer will help us to decode and understand many processes in our body.

thats where the blockchain can make big plays. when you identify the gene and you, as a patient, have your genedata uploaded to EHF for example, you can be matched with it and fight against it before even sympthomes occur

these are exiting news. I also hope that in a couple of years you'll see EHF helping the researchers and the users.

It looks that there're many teams doing researches about this. I don't think we will see the results for several years.

Not necessarily, there could be little milestones, where people can start with. For example an app, which collects data while you are making sport. Or a device which can examine your saliva, urin and so on.

Yes that would be awesome. But those devices need time and developement, i dont think its a thing for a startup. They need to focus on the software first.

Maybe even insurance companies will develop such apps. The more data they have and the healthier you are the more money the insurance will save.
