Retro Biosciences, one of the hottest startups in the longevity field, was founded about five years ago by the tech entrepreneur Joe Betts-Lacroix with a $180 million investment from his friend Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI. Despite its hefty war chest, the company initially pursued an image of an agile, scrappy company headquartered in...

European scientists have created a GPT-based model that can predict the risk of more than a thousand diseases on par with single-disease tools and biomarker-based models [1]. Tell me the future! For millennia, people have wanted to know what health events await them in the future. Models have been created that can forecast the onset...

The Arc Institute, a nonprofit research organization, has published a manuscript on its creation of Evo 2, an AI foundation model that is capable of both understanding and building full genomes of organisms. A new step in understanding biology The authors of this paper, a group of professionals largely from the Arc Institute and well-known...

Once confined to the realms of science fiction or relatively crude internet death calculators, AI-driven predictions about longevity are inching closer to reality. Questions about the accuracy and value of these forecasts remain. In recent years, researchers and companies around the globe have been pursuing answers to the ultimate question: How long have we got...

Back in 2006, a website called “The Death Clock” appeared on the internet, with a promise to answer one of life’s greatest questions: “When will I die?” Since then, over 60 million people have used the site, which gives a somewhat grim countdown to the day they’ll meet their demise, or does it? Far from...

In Aging, researchers from Spain and Luxembourg have described the creation of Single-cell RNA-seq Investigation of Rejuvenation Agents and Longevity (SINGULAR), an atlas for cellular rejuvenation that describes how interventions affect individual cells. Computational biology might light up a better path These researchers begin this paper by describing the problems with current interventions against the...
