Google’s $1.5 billion research center to “solve death”

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, life extension, singularity

Google has been developing what is perhaps the company’s most ambitious project to date: a science startup that will pursue ‘solutions for aging’ with the intended goal of “solving death”.

Calico, a company directed by futurists to explore the concept of “singularity”, has partnered with pharmaceutical giants to research and trial new market drugs that target aging and development.

What is this new audacious project? Who is behind it? In the following feature, Ethan Nash explores.

Are skin, hair, posture and vitality good indicators of biological age?

Posted by in categories: biological, genetics, life extension

The latest episode of the Huberman Lab Podcast is all about the aging process and how to slow, halt or reverse it. My guest is Dr. David Sinclair from Harvard Medical School.

We discuss:

• Epigenetics.
• Fasting, breaking fasts.
• Nutrition, artificial sweeteners.
• How puberty impacts aging.
• Resveratrol, caffeine, electrolytes.
• NAD, NMN, Metformin, Berberine.

Tackling ageing may be best way to prevent multiple chronic conditions from developing in older people

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, life extension

Although multimorbidity differs for each person, we know that patients tend to suffer from the same groups of diseases — known as “clusters”. This suggests that each cluster may share a common underlying cause. For example, a person with multimorbidity may suffer from heart problems (such as heart disease and high blood pressure) and diabetes, which may all stem from the same cause — such as obesity.

Identifying and treating the cause of a patient’s disease clusters would allow us to more effectively combat several — or even all — of the diseases a patient has using a single treatment. This would both reduce the number of medical appointments a person needs to attend and the number of medications they may need to take.


Ageing is the single biggest risk factor for developing multimorbidity.

Dr. Irina Conboy — Rejuvenating Effects of Plasma Dilution

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

2 big points from this. 1. Plasma dilution does reverse aging but a bit and the next question will be can it be done over and over to make you younger in steps. 2. She mentions wrapping up human test results and hopes to give the results at some point.


At the EARD 2021 conference, Dr. Irina Conboy discusses the rejuvenating effects of plasma dilution in old mice. Dr. Conboy also explains why she believes that the path of rejuvenation is through tissue maintenance and repair, not preventing tissue damage.

New Biotechnology that will Cure Aging by 2030

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

A combination of soon-to-be released Biotechnology is expected to extend of lifespans almost tenfold with the help through emerging technologies such as CRISPR or Senolytics. These Anti Aging treatments are meant to stop and even reverse the aging process so that anyone could get young and healthy again. Many companies such as SENS or Jeff Bezos, but even countries like Japan are working on it to deal with an aging population.

This self-sustainable expanding trailer is a complete solution designed for urban nomads

Posted by in categories: life extension, sustainability

The need to rejuvenate amidst nature is crucial in stressful times to heal and grow. This has sparked a trend for a nomadic lifestyle without any compromises in living comfort. Yes, I’m talking about the growing popularity of towable trailers, RVs, caravans, and houses on wheels that promote an upbeat mobile lifestyle. So, how will things be, say, a decade or more from now?

Industrial designer Jason Carley imagines a future where the urban lifestyle will be punctuated by life on the road triggered by sky-rocketing living costs and the aging infrastructures that are dependent on ecologically disruptive fuels and technologies. Jason thinks of a time in the year 2035 where nomadic life will revolve around mastery of resources and an efficient mode of travel. Thus comes into the picture this towable trailer that gives love back to nature. Targeted for the young and resilient urban customers, the rig is an accessible retreat to escape from the stresses of life for a few weeks or even months.
