On February 11, the popular Futurist David Wood hosted a livestream about aging research on the London Futurists Youtube channel. The LEAF outreach director Elena Milova was one of the guests on the show, which was an informative summary of progress in the field of rejuvenation biotechnology.
There were a range of guests included in the panel and it was interesting to hear their insights into the cutting edge research happening in labs right now. Elena was on hand to give some excellent updates on the progress in research and share her knowledge of the field. We would like to thank David for hosting the event and look forward to seeing more in the future.

Although rapamycin reliably extends lifespan in a range of organisms, new research shows that it does not achieve this via the same pathways as caloric restriction [1]. Understanding how the two processes differ and […]
This week on Lifespan News, Brent Nally discusses the idea of using phototherapy to kill cancer cells, AI for senolytics, AKG and age-related fertility decline, genetics and hearing loss, and the relationship between COVID-19 and telomeres. Further Reading […]
The mitochondria are an important target in aging, as their age-related dysfunction is thought to be a reason we age. These tiny power stations living in our cells do a wonderful job producing […]
Scientists have successfully reversed the decline in cellular stress response in drosophila flies [1]. Our cells rely on epigenetic regulation to do their various jobs: while a muscle cell has the same genome as a liver cell, […]
Glucosamine is a polysaccharide that naturally occurs in cartilaginous joint tissues and is involved in protein and lipid synthesis. Glucosamine is also present in other tissues, such as skin, nails, bones, and ligaments. Synovial fluid contains glucosamine and occupies the […]
A new study by a team of researchers, including Dr. Kirkland of Mayo Clinic, shows the effect of whole-body senolytic treatment on the health and function of the brain. This follows up […]
