Bountiful Harvest: A Review of Life Extension Plan Scientific Achievements

2025/02/07

With the rapid development of science and technology, humanity's exploration of life has never ceased. During the 2023-2024 period, we witnessed a series of exciting scientific achievements. These not only made significant progress in fields such as anti-aging, gene editing, organ regeneration, and immunotherapy but also pointed the way for future medical research.

The 2024 World's Top Ten Scientific and Technological Advances Announced, with Significant Achievements in Life Sciences

2025/02/07

Recently, the "2024 China/World Top Ten Scientific and Technological Advances" organized by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering was unveiled. In the list of the world's top ten scientific advancements, breakthroughs in cell and gene technologies stood out, including the first 3D-printed functional human brain tissue, CAR-T therapy, gene editing, Google's new quantum chip, super microscope, and more.

Milestone! World's First Ovarian Dual Activation Technology Assists Patients in Conception

2025/01/15

ecently, a major breakthrough in the field of reproductive health has garnered wide attention. The "ovarian dual activation" technology, collaboratively developed by the Yinfeng Life Sciences Research Institute (referred to as "Yinfeng Life Sciences") and the team of Professor Wang Huiying and Dr. Jin Bo from the Shenzhen Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine (referred to as "the hospital"), has achieved another milestone in cryobiomedical technology. Using methods of "cryopreservation + PFC", this technology has helped two patients achieve natural conception, providing new hope for women of childbearing age who are cancer patients, infertile, or of advanced maternal age.

Latest Breakthrough in Xenotransplantation: World's Third Genetically Edited Pig Kidney Transplanted into Human

2025/01/13

Robert Montgomery, the director of the NYU Langone Transplant Institute, stated in an interview, "This gives us more insight into the expectations for clinical trials, which can include patients with relatively good overall health."

Pig organs transplanted to monkeys, another new advance in cross-species transplantation

Multiple organs and tissues, including liver, kidney, heart, abdominal wall, cornea, bone, median nerve, etc., from a gene-edited pig were transplanted to seven recipient monkeys. "The study is another useful exploration and positive attempt to find out whether xenotransplantation of tissues and organs is feasible to be applied to emergency treatment of severe tissue destruction and organ failure, which will further expand the feasibility and effectiveness of confirming the application of xenotransplantation to medical rescue." At the media conference held on the 10th, Dou Kefeng, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, gave a high evaluation of the operation.

Miracle! Man's thumb was severed for 76 hours, successfully resuscitated

Recently, a banner full of patients' gratitude was sent to the hands of hand and foot surgeons of Qilu Hospital. It turned out that, just more than twenty days ago, Mr. Lu's left thumb was cut off by a machine while he was working at a construction site. The incident was sudden, and the severed finger could not be found during the emergency medical treatment. Two days later, the possibility of being separated from the broken finger and then pick up the living is minimal.

Heavyweight! Prof. Gang Zhao, the main committee member of Yinfeng Cryomedicine Specialized Committee, published another article "Advanced Cryopreservation Engineering Strategies - A Critical Step in Utilizing Stem Cell Products".

Cryopreservation is known as the technique of solidifying time, by cooling biological materials (e.g. cells, tissues and organs) to low temperatures with the addition of cryoprotectants (generally -196°C liquid nitrogen preservation), and then rewarming them to normal temperatures (37°C) in an effective manner when needed, at which time the biological samples can still be restored and maintain their activity.

Breaking! U.S. transplants pig kidneys to humans, now surviving for over a month

As we all know, organ transplantation, as the last resort treatment for many end-stage organ diseases, has long been in an objective situation where demand far exceeds supply (organ donation). As a result, many research teams have also put their hopes for a breakthrough in the field of xenotransplantation - trying to make pig hearts, pig kidneys and pig livers work in the human body.

Spinal cord-like tissue transplantation helps paralyzed rats regain motor function

Dai Jianwu, a researcher at the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IGDB, CAS), and Yannan Zhao, a young researcher, have made a new progress in the study of in vitro fabrication of human spinal cord tissues, which, when transplanted, help to restore motor functions in paralyzed rats. The related study was recently published in Science Advances.

The real-life version of "Avatar" is here! Scientists create human organs with chips

In medical research laboratories, we often see small animals such as mice, rabbits or frogs, which are used as animal models to become experimental, drug-testing or even anatomical objects, and make great sacrifices for human medical research.

Going beyond sci-fi: the human 4S store that makes organ repair possible

When the car traveled to a certain mileage, we need to go to the 4S store to do maintenance to the car, so as to keep the car in a safe state of use. In fact, people and cars are similar, the human body in the process of operation also need maintenance, regenerative medicine "human 4S store", through advanced regenerative medicine technology, to achieve the goal of "where the bad repair where".

Human cryopreservation: the "Everest" of cryonics

Borges, a well-known writer in the 20th century, once said that the essence of human existence is the experience of death over and over again, and "death makes people wise and sad". Therefore, in the history of mankind, people are constantly breaking through themselves, challenging the boundaries of science and technology, the peak of medicine, and the length of human life is constantly extended in the long river of time.
