It’s hard not to get excited about the cutting edge lab results that the ability to edit DNA has unlocked. “If we give it to aged mice, they rejuvenate. If we give it to young mice, they age slower. No […]
“Over the years I have been blessed by good health. I am 92 and did not really have any illness until a few years ago. In addition, I have always been very active and energetic all these years. IN RESPONSE […]
Long-time readers will know that the study’s findings are not news, but its publication is a milestone. “In the Cell paper, Sinclair and his team report that not only can they age mice on an accelerated timeline, but they can […]
In what seems like a practical application of the above TEDx talk, tech founder Bryan Johnson believes he’s set a new world record for reduction of epigenetic aging. “These results were achieved via Blueprint’s measurement and intervention protocols, part of […]
“New work shows that neurons and other brain cells use DNA double-strand breaks, often associated with cancer, neurodegeneration and aging, to quickly express genes related to learning and memory.” | learn more

Episode one of a new a16z podcast dedicated to bio. I liked that they discussed how aging research might fold back into the existing healthcare system. “Once a fringe field, the science of aging is now entering a new phase […]
A new study published in peer-reviewed journal Aging finds improvements in both general cognitive function and cerebral blood flow. “The main improvements include attention, information processing speed and executive functions, which normally decline with aging.” The study used a control group, but […]
“He was going to live forever, or die in the attempt.” – Joseph Heller, Catch 22 What if we treated aging as a disease? Already you can imagine the controversy. It would feel wrong to call granny sick just because […]
Peter Diamandis highlights some of the technologies he’s tracking. “For the first time ever, scientists and entrepreneurs think there’s a way to slow aging in its tracks, and perhaps even reverse it.” | learn more
