George Church has a stealth startup Rejuvenate Bio that is working on reversing about 60 different age related factors. There is unpublished work on mice with eyepopping results and they have begun genetic engineering aging reversal on dogs. Human aging reversal could be commercialized by 2025. He discussed the reversing of aging in January 2018. …
There might be a wall of death at around the age of 115 to 116 years of age. There are a few confirmed people who live past that age but it is a tiny number. Only about one in 1,000 centenarians (people who live to 100) live past the age of 110. In 2003, the …
Hong Kong has been the country in longevity for the past three years. Currently the life expectancy in Hong Kong is 81.7 years for men and 87.3 years for women. The combined life expectancy is 84.5 years. This is longer than people in Japan who ranked third in the world. There are seven million people …
Within 5 years, the world could widely accept that we are within striking distance of a post-aging world. This could be with the achievement of mice that would normally die at the age of three getting life extension at the age of two and living beyond 5 years. It might be after that with the …
Aubrey De Grey discusses how all of the aspects of fighting the damage of aging have reached an investable stage. Ten years ago only stem cells were investable. Now companies have been formed to attempt to counter all of the types of aging damage. Brian WangBrian Wang is a Futurist Thought Leader and a popular …
The University of Exeter has new compounds which reduced the number of senescent cells (older cells that have deteriorated and stopped dividing) up to 50%. The Exeter team also identified two splicing factors (a component of cells) that play a key role in when and how endothelial cells become senescent. The findings raise the possibility …
Injecting Placental stem cells into old mice at the end of their lives can boost longevity by 50% 30-40%. It extends the life of 2-year-old mice to three years. Diamandis in the video from 3:30-4:30 minutes: you take the placenta so that mice. you convert it to dosages of stem cells that you then give …
Michael West explains his theory that the body normally gets rid of senescent cells when we are younger because the body has enough rejuvenation to replace the cells. However, the older body cannot replace the cells as easily so the body says wait lets keep those heart cells or other cells because I cannot replace …
Clearing old “zombie” cells from the human body has been shown to extend the lives of mice. When cells detect that they have been irreversibly damaged, they enter a non-dividing condition known as cell-cycle arrest, or senescence. It’s believed this occurs to prevent cells from going rogue and turning cancerous. Ideally, they should die by …
When will we know that antiaging rejuvenation using damage and age reserval really works? In such a world we will see 20 year old mice and a young Sylvester Stallone. Stallone is a wealthy famous person who uses human growth hormone and other treatments to stay youthful. George Church is a scientist deeply involved in …
Researchers at the Stowers Institute for Medical Research have captured the one cell that is capable of regenerating an entire organism (flatworm). These used a technique that combines genomics, single-cell analysis, flow cytometry and imaging, scientists have isolated this amazing regenerative cell – a subtype of the long-studied adult pluripotent stem cell – before it …
