[…] our findings show that a cell’s function can be directly linked to its nutrition; on a more specific level, this sheds new light on how T cells become dysfunctional or exhausted and what we could do to prevent that.”

The skin’s ‘surprise’ power: it has its very own immune system
Bryan Johnson: There’s now an active betting market on @Polymarket for my nighttime erections. […] My baseline NTE measurement was two hours and 12 minutes (~ave for a 47 yr old). My best NTE was 2 hours and 59 minutes (ave 18 yr old), which was post two therapies: 1) focused shockwave therapy and 2) botox. The positive effects of those therapies lessen over time. In mid November, I started a second round of shockwave therapy on the penis, completing three sessions however improvements can take up to 12 weeks after the therapy. NTE is a significant biological age marker representing sexual, cardiovascular, and psychological health.“
