Two longevity (antiaging) nonprofits – SENS Research Foundation and Lifespan.io (Lifespan Extension Advocacy Foundation) – have unveiled plans to merge, upon completion of regulatory approvals. Founded in 2009, SENS Research Foundation, has funded cutting-edge research into the science of aging and regenerative medicine. Lifespan.io is a dynamic hub for advancing the frontier of longevity research. …
The all-treatments group is still taking roughly twice as long as the all-controls group (starting from 19 months old, when the experiment began) to get down to a given survival percentage in males. The all treatments female mice are lasting 50% longer than controls. It’ll still be a few months before we can start to …
The mole rat lives about 37 years which is about five times longer than expected for an animal of its size and type. Researchers at the Queen Mary University of London have learned more about why the mole rat lives so long. The mole rat have fewer heart attacks. The mole rat adaptions to low …

There is a large scale study using 1000 mice testing four major life extension therapies to see if there is an additive effect and how much additive effect there is. Preliminary data is show there can be longer lifespans with combined therapies. There have been different life extension therapies where each on there own can …
Bladder tissue was successfully grown from baboon bone marrow. It was kept functional for two years. This success is promising for success with human tissue over the next few years. Scientists from Stanley Manne Children’s Research Institute at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago and Northwestern University have succeeded in regenerating fully …
Neuralink has officially implanted its first brain chip into an actual human. The person is recovering well and the device is detecting neuron spiking. Those who suffer from ALS or spinal cord injury are the people who should apply for device. The Neuralink mission is to create a generalized brain interface to restore autonomy to …
Researchers published in the peer-reviewed Nature in Dec 2022 estimated that there were 14.83 million excess deaths globally (2020-2022), 2.74 times more deaths than the 5.42 million reported as due to COVID-19 for the period. The Global Covid deaths greatly in declined in 2023 but the excess deaths continued at far higher levels. In Japan …
The worldwide prevalence of childhood obesity has risen dramatically over the last 30 years. In the United States, approximately 20% of school-age children are considered obese, resulting in a significant public health concern. The etiology of childhood obesity is complex, and both genetic and environmental factors contribute to the development of the disease. Recently, early-life …
A trope in science fiction is for advanced space missions to use suspended animation for long space missions. In fiction, they usually assume that suspended animation stops aging. This will be full on cryonics. In reality, we can safely induce a hibernation like state where metabolic processes are slowed. Minimal nutrients and water would be …
