Key points from 20 presentations from world-leading researchers
A great summary of 25 speakers who are in various stages of platform building, drug discovery and clinical trials
Many people believe lots of clinical trials of novel therapeutics targeting mechanisms of aging will start up in the next few years
Some really exciting developments with quite a few in clinical trials
There is a phenomenal amount of work going on across the spectrum of ageing - something is going to work eventually!
CDP technology enters clinical trials soon to tackle the root cause of heart diseases
But Reason is not yet convinced - definitely needs more, and bigger, studies
Disappointing first result - but lessons learnt and plenty of other strategies available
It does seem way to early to be settling for any single type of clock for rejuvenation research
No surprise there is a big overlap in interest in life extension from the cryonics community
Interesting articles and some useful investment opportunities
There have been more negative results in mice than positive - surprising given the press it gets
A great summary of 25 speakers who are in various stages of platform building, drug discovery and clinical trials
While modifying immune cell populations, the drugs also increased ageing biomarkers
Many people believe lots of clinical trials of novel therapeutics targeting mechanisms of aging will start up in the next few years
Some really exciting developments with quite a few in clinical trials
Self-experiment results- detrimental due to frequent doses or simply bad combo
There is a phenomenal amount of work going on across the spectrum of ageing - something is going to work eventually!
One drug doesn't fit all; combination therapies to address multiple ageing processes at once
Neuromuscular junction: A potential therapeutic target in neuromuscular injury
Molecular level benefits observed (inflammation, senescence) as well as physical ones
One treatment does not fit all - diversified gut microbiota needs customizable medicine
Physically active work life and better lifestyle choices linked to long-term survival in men
Restoring gut microbial health can reverse declining age-related immune fitness
Long-term use of this supplement boosts NAD+ levels, lowering the risk of osteoporosis in mice
Disappointingly, no impact was observed on maximum lifespan - still looking for the next bridge
Calorie restriction prevents age-related changes to the gut microbiome in mice
Favorable results in single person experiment calls for a larger and formal research
Disappointing first result - but lessons learnt and plenty of other strategies available
Causation vs correlation to be confirmed - but death affects ALL cells in the body, not just YOUR cells
Given senolytics are unlikely to ever clear every senescent cell, exercise will still minimise bad effects of those remaining
Perhaps all the benefits come their their increased physical activity - worth further investigation
Supplementation with this anti-inflammatory drug can give us more benefits than we know
We need a single biological age figure as mortality risk applies to the whole body
Study of environmental factors leading to becoming centenarian opposes previous literature
Short-term treatment of this drug demonstrated cytotoxicity among other risks
Possible as these highly regenerative echinoids show extremes of biological ageing
500 mg shown safe in clinical trials - lots more research underway
Still one of the most reliable interventions when improving long-term health
First study investigating its effects in the normal ageing process
Hopes are up for it to directly help the cancer research community and patients
They found efficient way to increase its senolytic specificity, reduce platelet toxicity
Trans-ethnic biobanks are very useful to calculate polygenic risk scores
Minimizes off-target effects along with boosting healthspan, as studied in old mice
Easier to understand in years, rather than percentages. Whole milk a surprisingly big factor.
Mechanism behind their exceptional lifespan and prolonged healthspan becoming clear
These are among other benefits revealing new insights into anti-aging research
Werner syndrome, not merely accelerated normal aging as previously thought
Needs to study more on NAD+ interventions in order to achieve significant benefits
Senescent cell burden is a marker of disease free years ahead of life
When some of these succeed in human trials even more money will pile in to fund further advances
Just like rapamycin, berberine also slows down the senescent process
No surprise there is a big overlap in interest in life extension from the cryonics community
Better to read on best practices of calorie restriction with optimal nutrition before you start
Greatest reduction in colorectal cancer mortality by using aspirin more than 3 times per week
They have a natural mechanism against cellular senescence and ageing
Is it really the best use of $75M in the crusade against aging?
Picking up genes and proteins from other species to make a superhuman
Will this increase the tendency towards young blood transfusion?
Better to start exercising regularly at a pre-elderly age
There have been more negative results in mice than positive - surprising given the press it gets
BHB therapeutics develops treatment to mimic the effects of good diet
Could SIRT3 promotion in humans help with age-related oxidative stress?
