Potential Interventions For HUMAN LONGEVITY, CaAKG Is More Effective for People w/Accelerating Aging

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

This is primarily about Rejuvant or AKG trials. When they first reported an 8 year age difference I did not truly believe it as that would mean I could take it, de-age, then age a bit, then just take it again. The tests however are ongoing and will feature people who are biologically older than their calendar age. There is also mention of 110 drugs/supplements that do “something” to mice. That would be quite a stack to take.


Dr Brian Kennedy presents potential interventions for extend our healthspan. Among them, Rejuvant – a CaAKG supplement which contain calcium + alpha-ketoglutarate shows better response for people who has biological age older than chronological age.

Alex Zhavoronkov: Live Long and Prosper

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, life extension, robotics/AI

The maniacally focused founder of Insilico Medicine is going all in on AI to discover new medicines and extend lifespan.

But researchers are now using artificial intelligence to accelerate parts of that process by orders of magnitude. The same kind of technology that recognizes your face or autocompletes your emails can potentially add years to your life, experts say.

Forever Young: Scientists Reveal the Secret to a Strange Animal’s Eternal Youth

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

Sea anemones are seemingly immortal animals. They seem to be immune to aging and the negative impacts that humans experience over time. However, the exact reasons for their eternal youth are not completely understood.

The genetic fingerprint of the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis reveals that members of this incredibly ancient animal phylum employ the same gene cascades for neural cell differentiation as more complex organisms. These genes are also in charge of maintaining the balance of all cells in the organism during the anemone’s lifetime. These findings were recently published in the journal Cell Reports by a group of developmental biologists headed by Ulrich Technau of the University of Vienna.

Almost all animal organisms are made up of millions, if not billions, of cells that join together in intricate ways to create specific tissues and organs, which are made up of a range of cell types, such as a variety of neurons and gland cells. However, it is unclear how this critical balance of diverse cell types emerges, how it is regulated, and if the different cell types of different animal organisms have a common origin.

Warning: Popular Vitamin Supplement Causes Cancer Risk and Brain Metastasis

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

University of Missouri researchers made the discovery while using bioluminescent imaging technology to study how nicotinamide riboside supplements work inside the body.

Commercial dietary supplements like nicotinamide riboside (NR), a form of vitamin B3, were linked to benefits related to cardiovascular, metabolic, and neurological health in previous studies. However, new research from the University of Missouri (MU) has found NR could actually increase the risk of serious disease, including developing cancer.

Supplements containing nicotinamide riboside are often marketed as NAD+ boosters claimed benefits including increased energy, anti-aging/longevity/healthy aging, improved cellular energy metabolism and repair, increased vitality, and improved heart health.

What can blockchain do for increasing human longevity?

Posted by in categories: blockchains, finance, life extension

Longevity is not yet considered an official medical term, and aging is not officially considered a disease but a natural occurrence in every living thing.

However, some biologists, researchers and practicing doctors believe this approach should change, and they are striving to discover the mechanisms of aging in humans. In doing so, they are creating age clocks by defining biomarkers for measuring biological age, exploring the best lifestyle habits and natural supplements, and inventing new drugs that could stop us from getting older.

Longevity has been on the radar of crypto leaders for some time already, which is not a surprise given that the industry promises to improve humankind through innovation. Indeed, one prominent event in the longevity industry, the Longevity Investors Conference, is organized by Marc P. Bernegger and Tobias Reichmuth, who were previously involved with the Crypto Finance Group.

A discussion with Dr. Nir Barzaili on Age Later

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

Ever wonder why some 90-year olds don’t seem to slow down and seem. to retain the mental and physical capacity of someone half their age?
Do they have good genes? Or is there a way that all of us can get older without getting old?

That’s what Dr. Nir Barzilai, founder of the Institute for Aging Research at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, set out to answer in his book, Age Later.
