Elon Musk is very optimismic about AI + robotics leading to an age of extreme abundance. He sees a Star Trek future and not Terminator. The next 3–7 year transition will be very bumpy, potentially causing massive social unrest despite rising prosperity. AI and robotics is a supersonic tsunami that is already accelerating, no off-switch, …
A primary focus of LEV Foundation’s work is to empirically demonstrate the feasibility and value of the divide-and-conquer approach to treating age-related disease – that is, the simultaneous deployment of therapies that independently address the distinct classes of damage that accumulate in aging bodies. With a steadily increasing number of such therapies now showing benefits …
Aubrey de Grey had a large mouse study of combinations of antiaging treatments. They did show that combination treatments did have additive benefits. Combination treatments worked together to improve the lengthening of lifespans. Rapamycin is the strongest main confirmed antiaging treatment. His group is setting up a second experiment with new combination treatments but will …
Donations from Didier Coeurnelle enable next phase of LEVF (Longevity escape velocity foundation) Robust Mouse Rejuvenation research program. The initial donation of €200,000 (approximately $220,000) will be increased by a further €200,000 donations to LEVF during the month of October 2024 will be doubled. Donate to LEVF in the next 10 days to boost antiaging …
Mitochondrial dysfunction is implicated in dozens of age- related diseases, including Alzheimer’s, retinal disease, liver dysfunction, immune senescence, and more. Mitrix Bio has pioneered a new way of addressing these diseases, using young bioreactor-grown mitochondria encased in vesicles, which they call Mitlets. Mitochondrial energy declines as we age, causing a wide array of chronic diseases. …
Peter Diamandis told Elon Musk that healthy, longevity will be possible very soon. Elon Musk did agree that extreme longevity should be a very solvable engineering problem. Elon Musk again said that overpopulation is a big lie. The world is mostly empty. Fly a plane from New York to Los Angeles and try to drop …
Researchers at the University of Rochester have successfully transferred a longevity gene from naked mole rats to mice, resulting in improved health and an extension of the mouse’s lifespan. Mole rats can live ten times longer than mice . Naked mole rats, known for their long lifespans and exceptional resistance to age-related diseases, have long …
Aubrey de Grey announced the expansion of the SenoSTEM project. SENS had the SenoSTEM project. The biggest project of Aubrey’s new foundation will be testing combination antiaging therapies. This is taking antiaging therapies that are beneficial by themselves and using them in combination to hopefully achieve better results. There is a “parabiosis on steroids” project. …
The leader of the Antiaging movement, Aubrey de Grey, has started a new antiaging foundation. The new foundation will be advancing combination antiaging damage repair therapies. The new foundation will work with Ichor Life Sciences. Ichor spun out of Aubrey’s prior foundation. Ichor has macular regeneration work and has expanded to senenscent cells and acts …
the National University of Singapore (NUHS) opens Singapore’s first Centre for Healthy Longevity to increase healthy lifespan of Singapore population by five more disease-free years. The Centre will develop an integrative pre-clinical laboratory model and clinical human research pipeline that focuses on identifying, and treating biological hallmarks of disease. Lien Foundation gifts S$5 million to …
A research group at the Max Planck Institute for Biology of Aging in Cologne, Germany, has now shown in laboratory animals that brief exposure to rapamycin has the same positive effects as lifelong treatment opening new doors for a potential application in humans. Rapamycin, known for its positive effects on life and health span in …
