In the search for ways to effectively combat age-related human disease, the enzyme sirtuin 6 (Sirt6) has recently become a focus of biochemical research. A targeted activation of Sirt6 could prevent or mitigate such diseases, for example some types of cancer. In a paper for the journal Nature Chemical Biology, biochemists from the University of Bayreuth have now shown how the small molecule MDL-801 binds to the enzyme Sirt6 and influences its activity. These findings stand to aid the development of new drugs.
Curiosity about how well our bodies are ageing has fuelled an industry around telomere length tests, but the much touted “biological clock” in our DNA isn’t what we thought.
Modifying brain cell activity can extend the lifespan of fruit flies while also preventing the damage characteristic of Alzheimer’s disease, finds a new study led by UCL researchers.
This is a detailed summary of plasma dilution and at 58:38 the future is explained where they will publish human results from 25 people, then start a company whose first order of business will be phase 3 trials with more people and placebo and hopefully funding. It appears you can pay to have the procedure. The hopeful start is this year in may.
Irina will present her recent findings on plasma dilution, showing that age-reversing effects, such as rejuvenating tissues in mice, can be achieved by. diluting the blood plasma of old mice: Rejuvenation of three germ layers tissues by exchanging old blood plasma with saline-albumin.
Irina’s research focus. A key direction of my laboratory is to understand age-imposed and pathological changes in molecular compositions of systemic and local environments of adult stem cells and to calibrate these to health — youth. In the past few years this direction has been ramified into synthetic biology, CRISPR technologies, bio-orthogonal proteomics and development of innovative digital bio-sensors that we collaboratively applied to the fields of aging and diagnostics of genetic diseases. Success in this research will improve our understanding of the determinants of homeostatic health and will enable novel rational approaches to treat a number of degenerative, fibrotic, metabolic and inflammatory diseases, as a class.
Join us for Dr. Matt Kaeberlein’s presentation. He is the Founding Director of the UW Healthy Aging and Longevity Research Institute, and founder and co-Director of the Dog Aging Project and a Professor of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology at the University of Washington (UW) School of Medicine, with Adjunct appointments in Genome Sciences and Oral Health Sciences. Dr. Kaeberlein’s research interests are focused on biological mechanisms of aging in order to facilitate translational interventions that promote healthspan and improve quality of life.
“Our task is to make nature, the blind force of nature, into an instrument of universal resuscitation and to become a union of immortal beings.“ - Nikolai F. Fedorov.
We hold faith in the technologies & discoveries of humanity to END AGING and Defeat involuntary Death within our lifetime.

========== Perpetual Life Creed ==========
We believe that all of life is sacred and that we have been given this one life to make unlimited. We believe in our Creator’s divine plan for all of humanity to have infinite lifespans in perfect health and eternal joy, rendering death to be optional.
As people get older, their neural stem cells lose the ability to proliferate and produce new neurons, leading to a decline in memory function. Researchers at the University of Zurich have now discovered a mechanism linked to stem cell aging—and how the production of neurons can be reactivated.
A trio of researchers with ICAEV, Universidad Austral de Chile, and the University of Liverpool, respectively, have found suppressor genes linked to longevity and less cancer in two species of whales. In their paper published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B, Daniela Tejada-Martinez, João Pedro de Magalhães and Juan C. Opazo, describe their genetic study of longevity in cetaceans and what they learned.
Hi everybody. Around 10 days ago, I participated in an online conference about aging, organized by HEALES and ILA, and Harold Katcher was one of the speakers. As each speaker had only 15 minutes for their presentation (and Harold spoke only for 10 minutes because he had some technical issues with Zoom), I thought that it would be a good idea to make an interview with him so that he has more time to speak about his rejuvenation therapy with E-5, the test with dogs, the timeframe for the arrival of the therapy for humans, and, above all else, his theory of aging. So, it’s a more informal conversation, but I think it helps everybody to know more about Harold Katcher, maybe one of the most (if not the most) influent people in human history.
