There’s a couple of other companies mentioned too.

BioViva is aiming to use gene therapies to win the battle versus aging. We talked to CEO, Liz Parrish.

Longevity and regenerative medicine doctor Neil Paulvin shares the “holy grail” of longevity foods that he eats every day to boost his brain power and immune system.

Take a deep dive with NFX into the hottest longevity startups, exploring the mindset of the Founders and why they’re on a mission to keep healthy people healthy, to redesigned healthcare that prevents us from falling into disability and disease over time.

Solving this holds incredible financial and societal value — we have only a few decades left.

Those hoping to avoid one of the worst side effects of aging—bone, joint and muscle pain that doesn’t go away—might need to exercise a lot harder and more often than previously believed.

According to a new study, only high levels of activity at least once a week—playing tennis, running, swimming, digging with a spade, or doing hard physical labor as part of your job—appears to help ward off chronic musculoskeletal pain in the long-term.

The study, led by Dr. Nils Niederstrasser at the University of Portsmouth, examined the data of 5,802 people aged 50 or more over ten years.

(Registration link at http://perpetual.life).

Stay “In Zoom” for our 7:00 pm (12:00 am-midnight UTC) YouTube Streaming Service with José Luis Cordeiro presents, “The Death of Death: Advances Towards Immortality Around the World”

Jose will be live for Q & A after the presentation.

(BRLS), formerly known as Life Extension Foundation, Inc., is one of the world’s leading providers of financial support for otherwise unfunded research in the areas of cryobiology, interventive gerontology and cryonics. During the last decade alone, BRLS awarded more than $100 million in grants to highly-specialized cryogenic research organizations.

BRLS is exempt from taxation under Internal Revenue Service code Section 501©(4)¹, and is operated exclusively to promote social welfare through scientific research and education. BRLS was founded in 1977, and since then, we have awarded hundreds of grants to scientists throughout the United States who are personally committed to our mission. These dedicated professionals take extraordinary steps to make their research as cost-effective as possible. We are careful to commit our research dollars to projects that are difficult or impossible to fund through government and institutional grants or other sources.

Nonprofit organization, whose goal is the extension of the healthy human lifespan

Discovered mechanism provides potential therapeutic targets to slow aging and age-related neurodegenerative diseases.

As we turn our attention from the front of the eye to the back, we also look to the future. Many studies have combined oculomics with AI tools to predict biological age from retinal biomarkers, such as retinal vasculature [1, 6], and even linked this to chronic disease risk, such as cardiovascular disease and cancer [7]. High resolution imaging tools also enable direct visualisation of the neural layers within the retina, which can show signs of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease [1, 6], Parkinson’s disease [8], multiple sclerosis [6, 9], and even rare conditions, such as Lafora disease [10]. In many cases, the oculomic signs are present before symptoms arise. For example, it has been shown that proteins related to Alzheimer’s disease (such as amyloid-beta) accumulate at least one decade prior to cognitive decline [11] and these proteins also accumulate in the retina [12]. This is particularly pertinent to clinical research and drug development, as it enables identification of those who may benefit from intervention before irreversible damage has taken place.

Advances in imaging technology mean that we can now detect biomarkers at cellular resolution. We are continually finding new applications for imaging techniques to detect disease before it takes hold, providing the opportunity to intervene and potentially avoid disease altogether. It’s definitely an exciting time for oculomics research!

Crystallomancy has come a long way since Ancient Roman times, and it makes one wonder whether the scryers of the past could have predicted the transformation of orb-gazing from a mystical art to a rigorous science. Not only does Oculomics enable us to look into your past and present, but also has the potential to look into your future, providing you the opportunity to change your “fate”. Although we cannot be sure what form the advancements in imaging and AI tools will take over the coming years, we can be sure of one thing – that oculomics has a promising future in the quest for longevity.
