The Ship of Theseus is a thought experiment about whether an object which has had all of its original components replaced remains the same object. Theseus, the mythical Greek founder-king of Athens, rescued the children of Athens from King Minos after slaying the minotaur and then escaped onto a ship going to Delos. Each year, …
Brain plasticity is key to making progressive brain tissue replacement work. Various brain functions can move to different parts of the brain. Jean Hebert plan would be to grow a new body with gene therapy to knockout brain development. The body would need to be kept on life support for 14-18 years until the skull …
The Longevity Biotech Fellowship is a group of scientists, entrepreneurs, funders, and institutional allies who cooperate to advance biotechnology to reverse aging and extend human healthspan. This group is sponsored by 100 Plus Capital. Mark Hamalainen is cofounder of the Longevity Biotech Fellowship. His career has progressed from manual bench work in academia, to lab …
After I, Brian Wang, took Rejuvant, time released AKG a second aging biomarker test and a spit test analysis showed my biological age decreased by about 4 years. I feel good and healthy now and during my time taking the supplement. However, I cannot directly correlate good energy levels and any feelings of well being …
Aubrey de Grey reports on the large mouse study of combination antiaging treatments. The survival curves are definitely approaching the stage where we can draw tentative conclusions concerning average lifespan. What we won’t be able to do for a good six months yet, probably more like nine months, is speculate even tentatively about maximum lifespan, …
Is radical lifespan extension foreseeable? No one can answer that question with certainty. But there are certainly enough tantalizing clues suggesting that aging is sufficiently malleable to warrant the allocation of very substantial resources. Support the message of the Declaration to add your signature, using the form below, and to urge others to do the …
There is clear evidence for the rejuvenation of specific biological functions is now available in model organisms for a growing range of treatments. Achieving full medical control of aging, however, will certainly require the use of not just one, but an arsenal of longevity therapies. Aubrey de Grey explained how the Robust Mouse Rejuvenation program …
Oisin Biotechnologies has been able to safely apply gene therapies in humans to remove senescent cells. They were able to identify the bad cells and then applied a therapy to cause those cells to self-destruct. New Oisin Biotechnologies therapies will remove all visceral fat. Visceral fat is a type of body fat that lies deep …
Harvard’s George Church has been involved in starting many successful biotech companies. In 1984, he developed the first direct genomic sequencing method, which resulted in the first genome sequence (the human pathogen, H. pylori). He helped initiate the Human Genome Project in 1984 and the Personal Genome Project in 2005. George invented the broadly applied …
Today, there are some scientists who study human aging who say that 122 years of age is the at or near the limit of human longevity. The official record of a longest lived human (with verified evidence) is Jeanne Calment who lived 122 years. The 4 minute mile for running was believed for decades by …
João Pedro de Magalhães, a professor of molecular biogerontology at the Institute of Inflammation and Aging at the University of Birmingham in England, has calculated how long people can live if there was no aging and disease. The human mortality rate between the ages of 10-20 is when we are not dying from aging and …
