New Breakthrough Paves the Way for Extending Human Lifespan — Scientists Successfully Transfer Longevity Gene
Posted by Genevieve Klien in categories: biotech/medical, life extension
The successful transfer of a gene that produces HMW-HA paves the way for improving the health and lifespan of humans, too. In a groundbreaking endeavor, scientists at the University of Rochester have successfully transferred a longevity gene from naked mole rats to mice, leading to enhanced health and increased lifespan. Naked mole rats, noted for their resistance to age-related diseases, have a gene that produces high molecular weight hyaluronic acid (HMW-HA), which when introduced to mice, demonstrated potential anti-aging benefits.

The Identity Of E5 Revealed | Reduced Epigenetic Age By More Than 50%
Posted by Montie Adkins in categories: biotech/medical, genetics, life extension, media & arts
So past the 7 minute mark we see a competing interest may have stumbled upon the same thing so Katcher and gang are starting a company to commercialize E5.
Here we review a preprint from Dr Katcher and Dr Horvath giving more detail on the experiments which showed a 54% epigenetic rejuvenation in rats and reveals the source of E5 and the processing involved.

In this episode, filmed during Abundance360, Peter and David discuss David’s groundbreaking research on reversing aging through epigenetic changes, emphasizing that aging is not just damage to the body but a loss of information. They talk about age reversal as a possibility, rejuvenating brains, and regaining lost memories.

Stanford Medicine-led research identifies gene ‘fingerprint’ for brain aging
Posted by Shubham Ghosh Roy in categories: biotech/medical, life extension, neuroscience
Most of us who’ve reached middle age have noticed a slowing in memory and cognition, but scientists don’t have a clear picture of the molecular changes that take place in the brain to cause it.
Now, a study in mice has determined that the most pronounced changes occur in the white matter, a type of nervous system tissue that’s integral to transmitting signals across the brain. The study also examined two treatments — caloric restriction and infusions of plasma from young mice — that affect certain regions of the brain, with the plasma appearing to slow the age-related decline.

Embracing the Journey to Longevity Escape Velocity
Posted by Shubham Ghosh Roy in categories: biotech/medical, life extension
Imagine walking on a treadmill and time is the speed at which the belt moves. As you age, the speed of the belt increases, representing time passing faster and faster as we age. However, what if we could speed up and run faster than the belt? This is widely known as the concept of Longevity Escape Velocity (LEV), which is essentially the idea of outrunning time itself.
Longevity Escape Velocity refers to a future scenario in which medical progress and innovation allows scientists to extend human lifespan at a rate greater than the passage of time. Imagine a world where each passing year not only adds another year to our lives but also enhances our health, vitality, and functional abilities. This concept, popularised by Biomedical gerontologist Dr. Aubrey de Grey, centres around the idea of developing rejuvenation therapies that repair age-related damage at the cellular and molecular levels, with the aim of effectively reversing the aging process.
Organisations such as Dr Aubrey de Grey’s LEV Foundation are playing a huge role in attempting to achieve this extraordinary milestone by striving to speed up the development of life extending therapies and endeavouring to make them accessible to all. It can be argued that they tend to focus on high risk, high reward research that other institutions might overlook due to its experimental nature, however without those that dare to think big, developments in longevity science will not make the strides needed to make a real impact in our future.
