Brian Wang and Randy Kirk discussed the expected biggest science and technology stories of 2024.<\/p>\n
The potentially biggest development in 2024 could be antiaging science reaching a milestone of doubling the remaining lifespan of a mouse. The Longevity Escape velocity program has take four promising anti-aging treatments and applied them in various combinations to a group of middle-aged (18-month-old) mice. These mice can typically expect to live to a mean of 30 months, so their remaining lifespan would be expected to be around 12 months. The LEV team hopes to increase both the mean and average lifespan of these mice by at least 12 months. The project has been going for about 9 months and the combination treatment only 12% of the male mice with all four treatments have died while 66% of the untreated mice have died.<\/p>\n
In 12 months (end of 2024), the robust mouse longevity experiment could see a record increase in antiaging intervention and could possibly have doubled the remaining lifespan of the mice. There are 180+ Aging reversal and antiaging companies funded with about $13 billion.<\/p>\n
Doubling the remaining lifespan of mice could be ChatGPT moment for antiaging.<\/p>\n
