[Mountain View, September 17, 2025] — Lifespan Research Institute (LRI) today announced the launch of the Public Longevity Group (PLG), a new initiative focused on bridging the cultural gap between scientific breakthroughs in aging and their public acceptance. To kickstart its work, PLG has opened a crowdfunding campaign to develop tools that measure and strengthen...

Mountain View, California — Lifespan Research Institute, a nonprofit leader in longevity science and advocacy, announces the launch of the Lifespan Alliance, a sponsorship initiative uniting mission-driven companies and visionary organizations dedicated to extending healthy human lifespan. Member organizations, including launch sponsors AgingBiotech.info, Immortal Dragons, Rejuve.bio, Ora Biomedical, and Quadrascope, have the opportunity to collaborate...

Scientists from the Lifespan Research Institute have discovered that a subset of T cells effectively targets senescent cells and improves outcomes in a mouse model of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis [1]. How do we harness the immune system against senescence? Cellular senescence, which occurs when cells subjected to stress stop dividing and start emitting pro-inflammatory signals,...

Scientists have identified a senescence-associated surface protein that can be targeted using antibodies [1]. This discovery might help distinguish between beneficial and harmful senescent cells and could speed up the development of senolytic therapies. This work was done by the Lifespan Research Institute, which was formed last year by the merger of SENS Research Foundation and...

Scientists from the Longevity Research Institute (LRI), which was formed by the merger of SENS Research Foundation and Lifespan.io, have achieved expression of an essential mitochondrial gene in the nucleus and proper functioning of the protein. This could pave the way for curing diseases caused by mitochondrial mutations [1]. The fragile mitochondrial DNA The prevailing...
