It’s also about changing perceptions. Sometimes we’re limited in what we think is possible or in who we think can make a meaningful contribution. The push for more open-mindedness is an important one (https://longevity.technology/news/new-longevity-fund-aims-to-change-perceptions-as-much-as-outcomes/). Longevity research still starts from the premise that once […]

When we talk about longevity, we tend to talk about senescent cells, or those that deteriorate and malfunction as they age. Now researchers are investigating the opposite: cells that last longer than others and have regenerative properties (https://longevity.technology/news/new-insights-into-the-longevity-of-blood-stem-cells/). The cells we’re […]

Plenty of smart individuals and small companies have good ideas but lack the resources to make them work. That’s where public bodies like UK Research and Innovation come into play, in collaboration with enthusiastic private investors […]

In fact, natural killer cells may form the basis of a new therapy to tackle age-related diseases, among other health problems. A company called “Celularity” just presented the latest results from its research, and they have a […]

It told you a lot about your body and health. What should you do next? Can you find a way to lower that age score and improve your longevity? (https://longevity.technology/lifestyle/how-to-use-epigenetic-dna-tests-to-improve-your-biological-age-2/). There’s no point in taking a test unless you’re […]

This massive undertaking spanning decades mapped the full extent of human DNA, making all sorts of interesting discoveries on the way. It was the biggest-ever collaboration of its kind. Now, a new project hopes to do something similar for the human immune system (https://longevity.technology/news/human-immunome-project-unveils-plan-to-map-the-human-immune-system/). It’s difficult […]

Not all of them can turn them from a theory to a working model, and even if they do get that far, they’re still a long way from making it widely available in homes and institutions around the world. That’s why it’s a big […]

A new study by the University of Michigan gives deeper insight into just how well it works (https://longevity.technology/lifestyle/can-an-epigenetic-dna-test-predict-how-well-youll-age/).

Yes, it’s expensive developing groundbreaking discoveries and companies need to recoup those costs, but the people who most need help are often those who can’t afford it. That’s […]
