Aubrey De Grey: An Antidote to Aging

Posted by in categories: bitcoin, blockchains, cryptocurrencies, finance, life extension

From the beginning, our group has been about coming together to talk about crypto in a safe space. To share tips in a respectful and honest environment where people can make like-minded friends in an inclusive environment. We desire to educate, as well as learn in this ever changing landscape that is crypto. Moving forward we will grow whilst considering our core values.

Loss of Epigenetic Information Can Drive Aging, Restoration Can Reverse It

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, genetics, life extension

An international study 13 years in the making demonstrates for the first time that degradation in the way DNA is organized and regulated — known as epigenetics — can drive aging in an organism, independently of changes to the genetic code itself.

Short Reprogramming To Reverse Cellular Aging | Dr Vittorio Sebastiano Interview Clips

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, genetics, life extension

Dr Vittorio Sebastiano presents about aging and reprogramming and answers questions from audience in this clip. He specifies short Reprogramming does not impact cellular Identity but Impact cellular age and cellular health.

Dr. Vittorio Sebastiano is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Stanford School of Medicine. His lab has established a new technology named ERA (Epigenetic Reprogramming of Aging), which repurposes the conceptual idea of reprogramming, with the goal to promote epigenetic rejuvenation of adult cells leaving their identity untouched. This new technology was patented and is being implemented by Turn Biotechnologies, of which Dr. Sebastiano is co-founder and Chair of the Scientific Advisory Board.

Earlier Health Conditions Tied to Subsequent Dementia

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, life extension, neuroscience

Some health conditions associated with appeared early and consistently long before diagnosis, while others became significant much later, a cohort study suggested.

For people with a subsequent diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease, the earliest and most consistent associations at all time points over a 15-year span included depression, erectile dysfunction, gait abnormalities, hearing loss, and nervous and musculoskeletal symptoms, reported Lori Beason-Held, PhD, of the National Institute on Aging in Baltimore, and co-authors.

For those eventually diagnosed with vascular, the earliest and most consistent associations across 13 years were an abnormal electrocardiogram (EKG), cardiac dysrhythmias, cerebrovascular disease, non-epithelial skin cancer, depression, and hearing loss, the researchers reported in Annals of Neurology.

Aubrey de Grey on LEVF and Robust Mouse Rejuvenation

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, life extension

Dr. Aubrey de Grey is a legend in the longevity field who has been steadfastly promoting the idea of life extension since well before it became mainstream. While with SENS Research Foundation, de Grey made significant contributions to geroscience, and at Longevity Summit Dublin last year, he announced the creation of his new brainchild, Longevity Escape Velocity Foundation (LEVF).

Now, the first major and long-awaited LEVF-funded project is being launched: Robust Mouse Rejuvenation (RMR). This is envisioned as a rolling research program aiming to increase both the mean and maximum lifespan of mice by at least 12 months with various combination therapies started late in life. For the first study, four therapies have been chosen: rapamycin, a senolytic, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), and telomerase expression. A groundbreaking experiment by any measure, RMR got us excited, and we reached out to Aubrey to discuss both RMR and LEVF in depth.

The following interview has Arkadi asking questions in bold and Aubrey de Grey answering in normal font.

Scientists reprogrammed mice’s genes to live longer, and it worked!

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, life extension

Time to reverse your age and restore youth.

Scientists at a San Diego-based biotech company Rejuvenate Bio claim to have increased the age of mice by reprogramming their genes. They believe their gene therapy actually works like a reverse aging technique that one day might be used for rejuvenating humans.
