|    New longevity genes: (1/5)    |
|    04 Oct 22 01:10:02    |
      From: treon3verdery@gmail.com              They could mutate a bunch of yeast, knoocking out genes, notably 6K genes at       microorganisms and 20K at a mammal, find which out of a million (parallel       measurement of duplicate knock outs) omit living longer with a longevity       drug, then sequence their        genomes to find the missing gene, then look for SNPs or copy number variations       of that gene at living organisms with the gene that then cause greater       susceptibility and effectiveness of the longevity chemical, then transfer the       gene to mice and human        tissue culture, see if it is possible to make mice that live 80-200% longer       from rapamycin treatment (up from 60%) this way, or 79 to 140% longer from       royal jelly ingredients (25/27% longer), possibly decanoic acid esters like       10HDA and 10H2DA, or 14 to        105% longer from metformin (up from 3-35% longer lifespan); notably if these       genes are completely new to being investigated it is possible that rather than       using already researched mechanisms they might utilize new mechanisms that       favor the effectiveness        of numerous longevity molecules and drugs that do not, or do not yet, have       published mechanisms of action; so, finding these genes, optimizing SNPs or       making new gene nucleotide sequences, as well as changing copy number, could       make an organism much more        susceptible to a wide range “any” new longevity drugs and chemicals being       characterized;                            It is imaginable that a gene that causes double or halved diameter or quantity       of nuclear membrane pores could have effects on anything that gets       transcribed, also it is possible to imagine that, noting autophagy happens at       numerous, different receptor-       differing longevity drug effects, that something that makes autophagy 2,4, 8,       16, 32 times more likely to occur at the presence of some cytochemical (a new,       or, SNP optimized, copy number optimized, variant of the “autophagy turn-on       protein that is        much more active at what previously would be traces of chemical that were less       than autophagy causing, that now cause autophagy even from 1/16 or 1/32nd       amounts) could be the result of enriching the amount or activity of a gene,       which if deleted at a        yeast, happened to make a sluggish version of an autophagy turn on gene (that       required much more endogenous cytochemical to turn autophagy on); so, 180       degrees different than the nonresponsive version, the new gene, optimized SNP,       or most beneficial copy        number would cause greater susceptibility to longevity drugs of numerous       kinds, receptors, and mechanisms, including new mechanisms without any       previous research as well as new drugs;                             Finding the genetics of unusually high, hyperresponsiveness to longevity       producing drugs and chemicals also brings up the possibility of making       laboratory model organisms that are 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 times more responsive to       new longevity chemicals and drugs        that are possibly being screened as libraries; There is a difference between       this and just a genetic variation that causes dose susceptibility; say an       unengineered typical mouse registers a mild 7% longevity increase from       smelling the odors of young        mice of a sex they can have progeny with, if the gene-response heightened       mouse registers a 23% longevity increase then this might suggest that, once       the mouse’s nasal receptors got turned on, regardless of the dose above a       threshold, the neurons        connected to something, or did something that caused 2,4,8,16 times bigger       diameter nuclear membrane pores to get utilized, or some neural acivity, which       might just barely modify autophagy, is now of sufficient size to cause       longevity producing amounts        of autophagy, this effect even when the actual dose of the scent is either       midrange, or perhaps engineered to be at highest amplitude respponse at nasal       neurons already.                            Laboratory organisms with heightened amplitude of response to longevity       chemicals and drugs could create higher prominence (statistically resolvable       effectiveness) of new and effective and developable longevity drugs and       chemicals at mass screening,                              Another example could be a “cyclomolecule transport channel active transport       gene”; basically this might be a gene that specifies active transport of       anything with a cyclic part (benzene, cycloanything) at its molecule, that is       kind of a gene for:        really likes to transport most few amu drugs directly to the cytoplasm, a       yeast without that gene might be unresponsive to many many pharmaceuticals,       but a yeast with optimized SNPs, new nucleotides at a new “cylomolecule       active transport gene”, or a        higher copy number of that gene, might be 2-10 times more responsive to any       drug added to its medium, the cyclomolecule transport gene is sort of near a       dose responsiveness gene though;                            One possibility to make more illness more rapidly curable, at a wider variety       of treatable tissues, possibly including treating, preventing or curing       cancers, is to do gene therapy that puts: 2,4,8,16,32, or even 1000 times more       active transport of        anything with a cyclic area at its molecule to the cytoplasm gene,               It is also possible that some kind of loclization could be utilized to       localize the gene therapy at a particular tissue or oncocyte area; that way a       person could take a longevizing dose of rapamycin, while at any oncocytes,       that the cyclomolecule active        transport gene therapy had localization at, the rapamycin dose would be       32-1000 times higher and block or terminate any oncocytes.                                   [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
