5 Epinutrients To Slow Down Aging, From A Naturopathic Doctor

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, life extension

What are epinutrients, you ask? Allow us to explain.


In a 2021 study, naturopathic doctor and functional medicine expert Kara Fitzgerald, N.D., author of Younger You, was able to improve participants’ biological age by three years. Sounds like a tall order, but the intervention was actually pretty simple: With a very doable diet and exercise plan, it only took eight weeks to see these results. “A big reason we actually made a difference in eight weeks’ time is because we very intentionally bathed the body in a high amount of epinutrients,” she says on this episode of the mindbodygreen podcast.

Mike West on human cellular reprograming and rejuvenation (con S/T en Español)

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, life extension

Excerpt from an interview made by James Ruhle, founder at Simple Biotech, to Michael (Mike) West, founder and CEO of AgeX Therapeutics.

During this 4 minute excerpt, Mike explains in a nutshell the work he and his team at AgeX are doing “to reverse the aging of cells and tissues in the body in the truest and fullest sense of the work”, and clarifies the reasons why it doesn’t mean to convert and adult into a child.

Genflow to become Europe’s first longevity biotech IPO

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

The company is developing novel therapeutics targeting aging in humans and dogs by using genetically modified adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors to deliver copies of the SIRT6 gene variant found in centenarians. SIRT6 has already been shown to have significant capabilities to repair DNA damage, and Genflow’s aim is to show that it can also improve healthspan and, potentially, increase lifespan. “Our business model is to develop our lead compound, GF-1002, that has already yielded encouraging pre-clinical results,” Leire told us. “We are currently undertaking pre-clinical trials which are expected to take approximately two years.


SIRT6 targeting longevity biotech announces intention to float on the London Stock Exchange, with IPO later this month.

The Science Behind Why We Age | Lifespan with Dr. David Sinclair #1

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

Sinclair’s first episode. Enjoy.


In this episode, Dr. David Sinclair and co-host Matthew LaPlante discuss why we age. In doing so, they discuss organisms that have extreme longevity, the genes that control aging (mTOR, AMPK, Sirtuins), the role of sirtuin proteins as epigenetic regulators of aging, the process of “ex-differentiation” in which cells begin to lose their identity, and how all of this makes up the “Information Theory of Aging”, and the difference between “biological age” and “chronological age” and how we can measure biological age through DNA methylation clocks.

Researchers Use Machine Learning To Repair Genetic Damage

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

DNA damage is constantly occurring in cells, either due to external sources or as a result of internal cellular metabolic reactions and physiological activities. Accurate repair of such DNA damages is critical to avoid mutations and chromosomal rearrangements linked to diseases including cancer, immunodeficiencies, neurodegeneration, and premature aging.

A team of researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital and the National Cancer Research Centre have identified a way to repair genetic damage and prevent DNA alterations using machine learning techniques.

The researchers state that it is possible to learn more about how cancer develops and how to fight it if we understand how DNA lesions originate and repair. Therefore, they hope that their discovery will help create better cancer treatments while also protecting our healthy cells.
