We have talked about the use of artificial intelligence (AI) assessing beauty in an earlier article here. In this video, Anastasia Georgievskaya, the project leader of MouseAge, talks about how science might overcome some of the issues and shortfalls of past attempts to measure beauty and how it relates to aging research.
Anastasia and her team are developing a visual biomarker system that uses AI to determine mouse age without the need for invasive tests and thus could help to improve the lives of research animals worldwide. The techniques being developed for beauty can be also be applied to more serious research, such as that of the MouseAge project, and what we learn from one could be translated to the other via a technique called transfer learning.
And on the subject of beauty, Anastasia also talks about a cool feature of the MouseAge project at Lifespan.io. Anyone who makes a donation of $25 or more to support the project can have their picture analyzed for beauty by an artificial intelligence!
This is a perfect opportunity to challenge your friends to support as well so you can see who is the fairest of them all!

Steve is one of three recipients of the 2020 H+ Innovator Award and shares this honour with Mirko Ranieri – Google AR and Dinorah Delfin – Immortalists Magazine. The H+ Innovator Award looks into our community and acknowledges ideas and projects that encourage social change, achieve scientific accomplishments, technological advances, philosophical and intellectual visions, author unique narratives, build fascinating artistic ventures, and develop products that bridge gaps and help us to achieve transhumanist goals.
Steve has a background in project management and administration which has helped him to build a united team for effective fundraising and content creation, while his additional knowledge of biology and statistical data analysis allows him to carefully assess and coordinate the scientific groups involved in the project.
A massive RNA sequencing effort has identified changes in microRNA associated with Parkinson’s. Some of the changes correlated with disease progression, holding out hope that they could be […]
When conducting science, it is crucially important to have clear, unambiguous definitions. These definitions must be firmly established to avoid confusion and misunderstandings and possibly to prevent people […]
The UK All Party Parliamentary Group for Longevity (APPG) launched the Levelling Up Health initiative recently. The initiative aims to close the life expectancy gap, address health inequality in the UK, and foster a preventative approach to healthcare to […]
A new study in Molecular Cell has shown that the benefits of hypoxia may be derived from a suppression of the inflammatory SASP. Can less oxygen be a good thing? Cell cultures […]
This week on Lifespan News, Brent Nally discusses how the GrimAge clock, an accurate predictor of age of death, shows that major depression accelerates […]
Scientists have successfully reprogrammed astrocytes (a type of brain cell) into healthy neurons in the brains of living mice. This technique could potentially be used for replenishing the neuronal population in people suffering from brain damage […]
In this episode of X10, we discuss the concept of intermittent fasting: what it is, how it differs from caloric restriction, whether or not it can make you live longer or healthier, and the methods of going […]
A new technique allows researchers to turn epigenetic methylation off and back on again, thus allowing the silencing and unsilencing of certain genes. A CRISPR breakthrough CRISPR/Cas9 is a well-known technology for editing […]
