Aging Dubbing on request
Medicine of the Future • 2016 • 26 minutes
Nerves and worries help preserve youth and maintain beauty. It turns out that stress doesn’t shorten our lives — in fact, it may have the opposite effect. Missing a plane, bus, or exam can stimulate the production of cells that extend our lifespan. However, such findings are no reason to deliberately indulge in stress. Can we truly fool aging? And what alternatives can medicine offer us?
Genetics Dubbing on request
Medicine of the Future • 2016 • 26 minutes
What if scientists are already capable of creating a genetically ideal person today? Imagine being able to "order" a specific set of talents and eliminate harmful predispositions and diseases right at the moment of conception. Research in human gene editing has now reached a fundamentally different level!
Spare Parts for Homo Sapiens Dubbing on request
Medicine of the Future • 2016 • 26 minutes
If a failed internal organ could be easily replaced like a car part, many people's lives would reach a qualitatively different level. Yesterday, this seemed unrealistic; today, such technologies are already being implemented in prosthetics and implantology. The latest exoskeletons help people walk, and artificial organs reliably function inside the human body.
Nanomedicine Dubbing on request
Medicine of the Future • 2016 • 26 minutes
After 2,045 people will stop dying. This bold claim was recently made by the well-known English gerontologist Aubrey de Grey. Medicine is undergoing a revolution. By learning to manipulate nanoparticles, scientists are creating a new generation of drugs. Imagine hundreds of tiny observers monitoring every process inside the body every second. Thus, a science will emerge — one that promises radically new possibilities for regenerating damaged cells, tissues, and even entire organs. This is the science of the future, capable of extending life.
Nuclear Medicine Dubbing on request
Medicine of the Future • 2016 • 26 minutes
We are used to the word “radiation” provoking extremely negative associations. But scientists have learned to tame it and turn it to the benefit of medicine. Today it is used to treat serious diseases and prevent their occurrence.
Diagnostics Dubbing on request
Medicine of the Future • 2016 • 26 minutes
Ninety percent of all diseases can be successfully treated if detected at an early stage. Scientists worldwide are working to improve existing technologies: to make diagnostic methods even more accurate, faster, and more accessible. Which cutting-edge technologies will allow us to make an infallible diagnosis?
