The story of immortality and seeking medicine, has been circulated since ancient times, but in the case of Alex Zavolov, a Canadian aging research scientist, this country, which has long been eager for longevity and aging, has been studying aging. Not prosperous, he thinks this is "very strange." On the occasion of the publication of the Chinese version of his book "Across the aging - how the advances in biomedicine will change the global economy", Alex accepted an interview with Time Weekly reporters, "I hope that there will be more scientists in China who specialize in biological aging research, and Avoid the failure of the United States in dealing with the problem of aging."
In the new book, around how to live longer, Alex introduced the world's latest research on biological aging, and put more pen and ink on the global social problems caused by aging, including the problem of aging and the pension system. In his view, the social and economic problems caused by the aging of the United States, Japan and other countries have implications for China. By 2020, China’s population over the age of 60 is expected to reach 250 million. China will be one of the most aging countries in the world, and it will bring many burdens and problems, and anti-aging research in biomedicine will likely change. In this case, it can delay the standard age of retirement and even redefine the “aged population†in the broad sense.
Around the world, “the billions of people will enter the age of 65 in the next 20 years. Many people will take the retirement retirees’ expectations into the 'traditional’ retirement age, but wait for their future. It may be very different," Alex said in the introduction to the book.
Using artificial intelligence to resist aging is a major trend
Alex is only 37 years old this year! This is an unusual scientist. Since 2013, he will focus on two areas that are most influential in ageing research—using big data analytics and artificial intelligence to find biomarkers and aging clinics.
To this end, I disagree with Alex, who is completely experimenting with animals. He started his own experiment. He took 100 kinds of drugs and nutrients every day and claimed to “almost quit sex lifeâ€â€”so, “My life. Can be over 150 years old." Think about it, you have to witness the success of this experiment with your own eyes. You have to wait for 113 years. Is it a bit of a taste of "living for a living?"
Most anti-aging research in the United States has failed
Q: It is said that in order to delay aging, you take an average of 100 drugs and nutritional supplements per day. Even if such an experiment is useful, it is not very practical. For ordinary people, this is too expensive.
Alex Zavolov: I am really experimenting with myself. This is not just to make me live longer, but also to test some of the aging treatments that the team is developing. In fact, I think that most of the technology that can make humans live to 150 years old has been developed, and now only need to put these technologies into the clinical stage, but this is a very long process. Once the clinical application begins, most of the technology will become cheaper – the government will make it cheaper and maintain the health of the population. From an economic point of view, the prevention of disease is more important than the treatment of disease. Think about it, in a country, older people can function like young people and be productive and even more efficient, because of their experience.
Q: In China, there is currently no exact translation of the word "geroprotectors". Is this a new discipline on a global scale?
Alex Zavolov: Globally, "gerology" is already a complete field of science, derived from the Greek words "geron" and "-logia", by Russian zoologists, immunology Founded in 1903, IlyaIlyichMechnikov focuses on aging from a social, psychological, cognitive and biological perspective. The aging treatment is a new term coined by the Romanian gerontologist AnaAslan in 1953. This term describes all drugs and interventions that slow or even reverse aging. In recent years, due to the integration of biomedicine and information technology, aging diagnosis and treatment has developed rapidly.
I have always been interested in how to stop human aging. People who aging "kill" more than any disease, it is the most serious disease. I started out working on information technology GPUs, which are now often used in machine learning and artificial intelligence. In 2005, I turned to bioinformatics to study aging. Aging is a very complex and multifactorial process that occurs at all stages of life, so there is no single drug or intervention that can stop it. You need to build a dynamic virtual model of human aging so that you can find drugs in time to reduce the difference in age. The only way to do this is with artificial intelligence and high-performance computing.
Question: You criticize in the book that American research uses animals rather than humans as experimental objects, and at the same time, it is filled with too many unnecessary research and meaningless results. How to allocate scientific research investment is appropriate
Alex Zavolov: Before the rise of China to become one of the world's leaders in information technology and bioengineering, the United States was the most active country in biomedical research, and the government invested as much as 500 in biomedicine. Billions of dollars, pharmaceutical companies have invested more than this. Unfortunately, most of the investments failed because a large part of the money was spent on human clinical trials, and before the trials were conducted, the researchers did not elaborate on the effects of drugs or biomarkers derived from human data. Understanding. In vitro cell culture, worms, and mice are of course very good for basic research, but when they encounter drugs, they react very differently with the human body. Another reason I think waste is that most drug research is focused on treating diseases that occur in later years, rather than looking for ways to prevent youth.
