The RhinoChill: A New Way to Cool the Brain Quickly
We scientists are difficult, cranky, and above all, maddeningly frustrating people. Want to turn lead into gold? No problem, we can tell you how to do that, and in fact have even done it already: the only catch is that … Continue reading

Response to Aschwin de Wolf’s ‘Evidence Based Cryonics’
In his article entitled ‘Evidence Based Cryonics’ Aschwin de Wolf unassailably argues that: “There is an urgent need to move from extrapolation based cryonics to evidence based cryonics. This will require a comprehensive research program aimed at creating realistic cryonics … Continue reading

Structure-function analysis of neuroprotectants
In “The chemistry of neuroprotection”, the author argues convincingly that there could be great benefit from a systematic and rigorously scientific study of the physical chemistry of putative neuroprotectants vis-à-vis their pharmacological effect. However, the first example used of the … Continue reading

The chemistry of neuroprotection
In a review of the 1998 21st Century Medicine seminars, Cryonics Institute president Ben Best writes: “The presentations impressed upon me how much witchcraft and how little science has gone into the study of cryoprotectant agents (CPAs). This might be … Continue reading

Dietary supplements induce neurogenesis after stroke
A recent study in Rejuvenation Research reports that a combination of dietary supplements confer neuroprotection in stroke. Over a 2 week period rats received either a proprietary formulation of blueberry, green tea, Vitamin D3, and carnosine called NT-020 or vehicle … Continue reading

Critical cooling rate to prevent ischemic brain injury
Induction of hypothermia can reduce injury to the brain when it is deprived of oxygen. How fast do we need to cool a patient during cardiac arrest or stroke to prevent irreversible injury to the brain? It is an established … Continue reading
