  Stem Cell Transfusion: A promising approach to fighting aging. Aging is a natural and inevitable phenomenon that affects all human beings. As the years pass, our body undergoes changes at the cellular level that result in decreased function and the appearance of age-related conditions. In this context, stem cell transfusion emerges as a promising strategy in the search for solutions to mitigate the effects of aging. Stem cells are versatile cells with the unique ability to transform into various types of cells in the body. This property makes them an invaluable tool for regenerating tissues and organs, opening the door to a wide range of medical applications, including anti-aging. For this reason, stem cell transfusion involves the introduction of these cells into the body in order to regenerate and rejuvenate damaged tissues. These cells are usually obtained from the placentas and umbilical cords of selected mothers who authorize these procedures. Preliminary research suggests that

Sleep Paralysis: Between reality and deep sleep. Sleep paralysis, a peculiar and often frightening phenomenon, is an experience that lies at the crossroads between the world of dreams and wakefulness. It is characterized by a temporary inability to move or speak upon waking or falling asleep. This state, though brief, can feel eternal for those who experience it. When a person experiences sleep paralysis, his brain wakes up while his body still remains in the REM sleep state, where the muscles are naturally paralyzed to prevent the realization of movements associated with dreams. This mismatch between the brain and the body creates a feeling of complete immobility. In addition to immobility, those who experience sleep paralysis often report additional sensations. Some report a pressure in the chest or a feeling of tightness, while others mention the perception of presences or even visual and auditory hallucinations. Sleep paralysis can be linked to a variety of factors. Stress, sleep d

Biotechnology and its capacity to create human lives. Biotechnology, a discipline that combines knowledge of biology, chemistry, physics and technology, has revolutionized the way we understand and manipulate life today. One of the most fascinating and controversial fields within biotechnology is its ability to influence the creation of human lives. In vitro fertilization (IVF) is one of the most outstanding achievements in this field. This technique allows the union of eggs and sperm in a controlled environment in the laboratory, before being implanted in the mother’s uterus. This has given hope to couples with difficulty conceiving naturally, expanding the possibilities of forming families. Another important milestone is genetic engineering. With the advancement of CRISPR-Cas9 technology, scientists have the ability to edit the DNA of living organisms, opening the door to the correction of hereditary genetic diseases and the creation of personalized genetic therapies.
