PulseChain Airdrop Raises $20m for SENS

Posted by in categories: cryptocurrencies, life extension

The SENS Research Foundation has apparently already raised four times its annual income thanks to the PulseChain Airdrop.

The PulseChain airdrop supporting aging research

Richard Heart, the founder of HEX, is about to launch a new cryptocurrency called PulseChain. As part of that launch, he has also arranged an airdrop to give away some of the new cryptocurrency in order to support the SENS Research Foundation (SRF).

Scientists produce first genetically engineered marsupials

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

We probably at this point should make all animals immortal: 3.


The advance promises to unlock new insights into human biology and disease, aiding in the study of everything from the developing immune system to tissue regeneration to skin cancer.

“Studying biodiversity is not just about exploring the biology of a bunch of interesting organisms, but ultimately for a better understanding of human biology,” developmental biologist and lead study author Hiroshi Kiyonari said via email.

Clinical Trial: Does Plasma Dilution Delay Aging? | Lifespan News Extra

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, life extension, media & arts

The human trial of plasma dilution started in Russia last week. The lead researcher is checking how the biomarkers of aging will change in response to 110% plasma replacement during the therapy, and the difference between the group with albumin addition and without albumin. The trial is open to both Russian citizens and people from other countries. It is a hybrid model where part of the expenditures is paid by the volunteers, and part is provided by the patron of the research. This model allowed to get the trial started in record time — less than 9 months from conception to the start date.

The research group wants to test plasmapheresis in combination with other longevity therapies next to see if plasma dilution prior to the other therapy can enhance the results.

According to a new survey that involved 900 adults from the US

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, life extension

varying in age between 18 and 88, only 33% of them said they would be willing to take a pill that allowed them to stay alive at their current age.

If you were asked to participate in this survey, would you be willing to take an immortality pill? Would it matter what age you were before taking it?

Did you know that there are companies operating today that share the collective goal of resurrecting the dead?

Posted by in category: life extension

In The Last Generation to Die, we explore the difficult conversation of what is to be done for the elderly who might miss out on the benefits of enhanced longevity. But if these companies somehow achieved their goal, however farfetched, that conversation would become moot.

Would you want to resurrect a lost loved one if given the opportunity?

Our Theory Of Aging & Blood Dilution w/ Saline & Albumin | Drs. Irina & Mike Conboy Interview Ep 1

Posted by in categories: bioengineering, biotech/medical, life extension, media & arts

In this video, Drs Irina and Mike Conboy talk about their theory of why we age and introduce Neutral Blood Exchange, which came from their original parabiosis experiments documented in a 2005 paper.

Our guests today are Drs. Irina and Michael Conboy of the Department of Bioengineering at the University of California Berkeley. their discovery of the rejuvenating effects of young blood through parabiosis in a seminal paper published in Nature in 2005 paved the way for a thriving field of rejuvenation biology. The Conboy lab currently focuses on broad rejuvenation of tissue maintenance and repair, stem cell niche engineering, elucidating the mechanisms underlying muscle stem cell aging, directed organogenesis, and making CRISPR a therapeutic reality.

Brain ‘Noise’ Keeps Nerve Connections Young

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

The findings, published in Nature Communications, could have important implications for human health: minis have been found at every type of synapse studied so far, and defects in miniature neurotransmission have been linked to range of neurodevelopmental disorders in children. Figuring out how a reduction in miniature neurotransmission changes the structure of synapses, and how that in turn affects behavior, could help to better understand neurodegenerative disorders and other brain conditions.


Summary: Study reveals how miniature release events help to keep neurons intact and preserve motor neuron function in aging insects.
