Aubrey de Grey Thinks Robust Human Longevity Might Be Here by 2037
Posted by Paul Battista in category: life extension
Aubrey de Grey is getting more bullish about his timeframes for robust human rejuvenation and longevity escape velocity. He now thinks it is only 18 years away and not 25 years anymore.
There is fastly progressing science and there is a rapid increase in funding and formation of companies. Areas that were making slow progress like Mitosens are now rapidly progressing. Cross-linking is making progress as well.

Science has figured out how to freeze the aging process
Posted by Genevieve Klien in categories: biotech/medical, life extension, science
Medical advances and living standards have extended the average human longevity from 48 years in 1955 to 71 years today, and the elderly are now the fastest growing segment of society. But while our life spans are improving, our health spans are not, writes science journalist Sue Armstrong in “Borrowed Time: The Science of How and Why We Age” (Bloomsbury), out now.
“Over the past 50 years, health care hasn’t slowed the aging process so much as it has slowed the dying process,” she writes, quoting gerontologist Eileen Crimmins.

9 Steps to Start Living Longer Today
Posted by Paul Battista in categories: computing, internet, life extension
An award-winning scientist, engineer, and millionaire several times over predicted that by 2029, humans could start living forever.
That’s right. Immortality is almost here.
This ‘futurist’ has been frightening the masses with his predictions for years.

We are happy to announce Dr. Nikolay Zak as a speaker for the 2019 Undoing Aging Conference
Posted by Michael Greve in category: life extension
“As I know well from my experience with the Methuselah Mouse Prizes a decade or more ago, the public’s fascination with world records is a valuable tool in the essential task of raising general interest in an otherwise seemingly dry scientific field. This is particularly exemplified by the fame of Jeanne Calment, who has been authoritatively validated to have died in 1997 at an age three years older than any other validated case. However, Zak’s just-published investigations have cast considerable doubt on Calment’s actual age at death, and lend credibility to the possibility of an identity switch with her daughter. He will provide the latest updates on this rapidly-evolving and immensely controversial research.”, says Aubrey de Grey.

Study finds that in mice, lycopene in tomatoes reduced fatty liver disease, inflammation and liver cancer
Posted by James Christian Smith in categories: biotech/medical, food, life extension
In the fight against cancer, there is a surprising tool in the arsenal: the food we eat. That’s because some nutrients in food have been found to play a role in preventing cancer, and it’s relevant because the World Cancer Research Fund reports that 30 to 50 percent of cancer cases are preventable, putting a focus on stopping cancer from developing in the first place.
Xiang-Dong Wang, a senior scientist and associate director of the Jean Mayer USDA Human Research Center on Aging at Tufts, studies how food can help prevent cancer development, particularly lung, liver, and colon cancer.
Although the rate of most cancers is dropping, there is increasing concern about the rise in both incidence and death rate of liver cancer in the United States, partially due to the parallel rise in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, obesity, and diabetes.

Is Silicon Valley’s quest for immortality a fate worse than death?
Posted by Derick Lee in categories: biotech/medical, food, life extension
Besides that, everyone living much, much longer would cause many other problems. Where do the children of these centenarians live?
Until workable life-preserving technology is available, immortality enthusiasts are also obsessed with staying healthy – some fast on certain days, others watch calories, most exercise – so they are around long enough to benefit from emerging anti-aging science.
In 2019, the quest for everlasting life is, largely, though not always, more scientific. Funded by Silicon Valley elites, researchers believe they are closer than ever to tweaking the human body so that we can finally live forever (or quite a bit longer), even as some worry about pseudoscience in the sector.
