Ray Kurzweil believes we will reach longevity escape velocity in 4 years. Believing in LEV or that AI will cure aging is a human instinct. It's a way to cope with the absurdity of life and the inevitability of death. It is like believing in God. Unfortunately it's not real...

18 months to bring a rat back from the frozen abyss cryorat is true frontier science—a flagship project from CryoDAO which will pave the way for reversible whole-organism cryopreservation today we're revealing the 2025-2026 plan to push cryo further than ever before 🧊🐀

Alexis de Tocqueville observed that "evils which are patiently endured when they seem inevitable become intolerable when once the idea of escape from them is suggested". Aging and death are still widely accepted, but if we have a breakthrough we can quickly change perceptions.

🚨New paper on theories of ageing I discuss the major mechanistic theories of ageing in light of recent findings as well as the fundamental nature of the ageing process. Theoretical work is more important than ever in biology, including in ageing. nature.com/articles/s4155…

Can senolytics slow aging? Recent clinical trials and the largest mouse study of senolytics to date have failed to support this notion, raising questions regarding the future of senolytics as an anti-aging therapy. The latest Nature Biotechnology 🚨 1/3 nature.com/articles/s4158…

Excitement around life-extension and reversing aging is not new. This book on how science has discovered the "true fountain of youth" was published nearly 28 years ago. It turns out telomerase hasn't really panned out as an anti-aging therapy.

the longevity field is uniquely susceptible to damaging movements and narratives 'healthspan' was the worst of these in recent memory, but there is a new, perhaps even worse one on the rise - a form of AI zealotry which results in laziness and inaction due to an almost religious

New preprint with our list of 100 open problems in ageing science. Our curated list captures both long-standing fundamental questions and emerging research frontiers. A massive team effort by >30 researchers from many disciplines in biogerontology. arxiv.org/abs/2507.18602

Our longevity hero is a scientist, entrepreneur, writer, and guitarist. At just 10 years old, he was taken by the fact that everyone ages and dies, and he wondered why that had to be the case. This inspired his career to “cure ageing or die trying.”

What are the scientific prospects for curing human aging? A little over 10 years ago, I published a perspective on this. I argued we are still very far from curing aging because, for starters, we still lack a good mechanistic understanding of why we age. We also lack robust

Even the "current limitations" of cryo are a bit behind what we've enabled with our projects. Our project with Gaia Life has proven that preserved organs past -45° C still retain viability and function. While not the typical heart and liver that's been studied, ovaries appear
