The UN population projections assume that world lifespans increase from 72.6 today to 77 in 2050 and then about 82 in 2100. There are already populations that have life expectancy over 92 years. Asian American women in New Jersey life the longest. Decent genetics, near-optimal lifestyle and good healthcare can enable a life expectancy of …
Nextbigfuture has been eagerly awaiting the publication of the research paper on the scientific results of the combination gene therapy experiments by George Church and the team at Rejuvenate Bio. There was a video over one year ago where George Church mentioned being able to double the lifespan of mice. This would be three times …
In his talk at Ending Age-Related Diseases 2019, Estimating the True Complexity of Comprehensive Rejuvenation, SENS founder Aubrey de Grey talks about the intricacies of creating a complete rejuvenation biotechnology framework, including the differing rates of age-related damage and the ramifications of the extensive crosstalk between different types of this damage. The reason for grouping …
Oisin and OncoSenX Antiaging Extends Life 20% Life Extension in Old Mice and Human Clinical Trial Early 2020
In June 2019 at the Ending Age-Related Diseases 2019, James Peyer of Kronos BioVentures gave a talk about the investment aspects of rejuvenation biotechnology. He explained the effects of the population pyramid, showing the audience why cures for age-related diseases are such a necessity, and comparing population projections. One hundred years ago, the three leading …
A triple drug combination has been used to extend the lifespan of fruit flies by 48% in a new study led by UCL and the Max Planck Institute for Biology of Aging. The three drugs are all already in use as medical treatments: lithium as a mood stabilizer, trametinib as a cancer treatment and rapamycin …
Paul Krugman wrote an opinion piece where he rants against future radical life extension. Krugman fears that it will only be available to billionaires. Krugman scenario is that Peter Thiel would still be alive, wealthy and healthy in 2067 when Peter is 100 years old. Sergey Brin would be 94 in 2067. Krugman’s bizarre fantasy …
Rejuvenate Bio Using Gene Therapy Has Reversed Aging Effects in Mice and Dogs
Rejuvenate Bio is offering a cardio-protective gene therapy that can stop the progression of MVD (Mitral Valve Disease). They are preparing to run a pilot study in dogs with MVD.
Some people believe that successful antiaging would have a huge impact on social security and Medicare. They believe that if breakthrough medicine reduced the death probability each year three times, then this would bankrupt social security or Medicare. If someone who was 90 had one-third the death probability then it would be like they were …
For at least the next, ten to fifteen years, people who want to apply lifestyle and medicine to apply the latest research in antiaging it will mostly be do-it-yourself. People will have to seek out open-minded doctors if they need certain prescriptions. There will also be options in terms of overseas pharmacies and clinics. Clearly, …
