A new way to rejuvenate old cells in the laboratory, making them not only look younger, but start to behave more like young cells, has been discovered by researchers at the Universities of Exeter and Brighton.
A team led Professor Lorna Harries, Professor of Molecular Genetics at the University of Exeter, has discovered a new way to rejuvenate inactive senescent cells. Within hours of treatment the older cells started to divide, and had longer telomeres – the ‘caps’ on the chromosomes which shorten as we age.
This discovery, funded by the Dunhill Medical Trust, builds on earlier findings from the Exeter group that showed that a class of genes called splicing factors are progressively switched off as we age. The University of Exeter research team, working with Professor Richard Faragher and Dr Elizabeth Ostler from the University of Brighton, found that splicing factors can be switched back on with chemicals, making senescent cells not only look physically younger, but start to behave more like young cells and start dividing.
The researchers applied compounds called reversatrol analogues, chemicals based on a substance naturally found in red wine, dark chocolate, red grapes and blueberries, to cells in culture. The chemicals caused splicing factors, which are progressively switched off as we age to be switched back on. Within hours, the cells looked younger and started to rejuvenate, behaving like young cells and dividing.

Read about the troglodytes in Borges' work. He was basically like, if you could live for ever, you'd have no reason to do anything.
And if we don't get off this planet we only have about a billion more years. But who knows.

Hell, if I could just live to a high probability of 150 years old with decent health I'd be really happy. I aint talking forever.
Either way unless we can find a new universe we only have a few tens of trillions of years anyways.

It does because a slave can always get it worse next.If we are slaves of life, it does not matter whether we live 5 minutes or 150 years.

Well, if we lived that long, we'd also be broadly expected to work for something on the order of 100 years. In some ways, that's a good thing for it means that a lot of thought and learning would not be lost such that it needs to be rediscovered, as it were, by others who succeed us. On the other hand, the statement conjured in my mind the thought that insofar as a fair quantity of folks aren't keen to work at all or for 30-40 years, perhaps the notion of living that long wouldn't be welcomed by all. To close on a positive note, however, living that long would give folks who are "slow on the uptake" more time to "get it" and do something productive with their lives.
I'm so sorry.. That the break through that you are so happy about has already been discovered years ago.Old human cells rejuvenated in breakthrough discovery on aging
