In a recent breakthrough, researchers have successfully engineered a synthetic gene oscillator to slow cellular aging and promote longevity. The team, led by Lei Stanley Qi and Chao Tang at Stanford University, used computational biology to redesign gene circuits and map deteriorative processes in yeast cells. The oscillator became an “executable idea” in 2020 after the team identified the two main deteriorative processes that occur in the nucleus and mitochondria. The researchers believe that this process can eventually be applied to humans through gene therapy. If maintaining oscillations promotes balance in the cell and longevity on a universal scale, periodic pharmacological and nutritional interventions may also be developed. Howard Salis, an associate professor of biological and chemical engineering at Penn State University, notes that human cells contain similar age-committing genetic circuitry, making the same method of rewiring a possibility. The team’s recent study on “Engineering longevity” was published in the journal Science and includes researchers Zhen Zhou, Yuting Liu, Yushen Feng, Stephen Klepin, Lev Tsimring, Lorraine Pillus, and Jeff Hasty.

Revolutionizing Biodefense Introducing Quanta X Technologys Groundbreaking APUVGI for Pandemic Countermeasures
Quanta X Technology LLC is at the forefront of non-pharmaceutical technology-based pandemic countermeasures, pioneering a world-leadership position in this field. Their groundbreaking AP-UVGI (Active Personnel Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation) technology uses human-safe solar blind Far-UVC light to create safer spaces. This futuristic approach is backed up by studies showing that EMR at wavelengths between 207nm and 222nm won’t harm eyes or skin at effective germicidal doses, and is even more effective than conventional UVC for removing air-borne pathogens. In addition, Quanta X Technology is revolutionizing germicidal light-based communications by producing solid state Far-UV wave emitters, enabling the world’s IoT to work off quantum ready Far-UV germicidal communications technology for all close proximity data transmission in occupied spaces. UVGi-Fi is the ultimate end-game for pandemic countermeasures. With this technology Quanta X Technology is putting citizens first in biodefense tech, creating Quanta Munitions for Bio-Agent Defense.
