Cytoxicity Testing
Hey so one of the most important parts of all the regulatory testing they use in medical devices is cytoxicity testing. Or rather I should say are as they're a few types. If somethings bad with your coating, then this will usually tell you right away. The rest are chasing down more subtle effects after it's passed… -
Facial Skin Tucking / Skin staple / Suture/ tricks?
Hey, I'm interested in what would be the easiest way of getting a skin lift / botox / skin tuck that can be done at home? I have been looking at skin stapling or even doing a Suture. How hard would it be to perform? I have some loose saggy skin that I want removes after weight loss, it's mostly on my face. It's unlikely I… -
Defcon 2022
Howdy. So I was speaking with Nina from the Biohack Village and it's going to be another awesome year. So, Auglim has a room from 6 to 7:30ish each night to talk about both our products and those from Dangerous Things. DT stuff will be available for sale there and we should have some good prelaunch deals on Auglim… -
Biohack.me tattoo
I had a tattoo a month ago. I think you'll recognize it. Since, a lot of people asked me what it meant and I explained a lot more about biohacking in a month than in 10 years before. What is your understanding of the meaning of the logo? I have mine, but I'm curious to know what other people think it means. -
Telomerase lengthening
Hello gang I'm in the mid-stages of a six-part doc for Audible on longevity medicine, with a specific focus on people taking gene therapies to lengthen their telomeres and - if the science allows - live longer. I have interviews done or lined up with most of the obvious names in this space: Church, Martin, Barzilai, de… -
siRNA Gene Silencing
siRNA has been successfully used in gene silencing therapies since 2018 and it is really starting to gain traction in the pharmaceutical industry. My question is could this technology be used to silence the gene for myostatin production? It seems like silencing the gene would be a safer and easier approach than trying to… -
Transcranial Focused Ultrasound Stimulation
Does anyone know where I could find a device for tFUS along with some good resources on how to use it? I've read that it can stimulate areas much deeper in the brain and has better spatial resolution than tMS, tDCS, or tACS. I do have some safety concerns about tFUS though. One ultrasound can be dangerous and can destroy… -
Clostridium sporogenes
I'm interested in using Clostridium sporogenes as a probiotic supplement because it produces IPA in vivo. I couldn't find any suppliers so I'm interested in doing this myself. Does anyone know what strain I should use and where I could get ahold of it? -
LINX Magnet Manufacturing
Does anyone know how the magnets used for the LINX magnetic sphincter are manufactured? The reason I ask is because these magnets are designed to last a lifetime so I would think that they wouldn't demagnetize as quickly as other magnetic implants. -
Q/A type poll for long-term magnet users
Basically, I'd like to check in with those of you who've had your magnets at least a year. My focus is on the sensing aspects but don't let that stop you if you're geared for lifting. This is for my personal curiosity (also in prep for my own implants) but after editing this may come off like in prep for a blog post or…
