Cat and dog
A preprint study published on bioRxiv discusses how a species' maximum lifespan can be predicted by its epigenetics, showing that these differences are largely unaffected by interventions. Differences and similarities in mammals The researchers begin their paper with a note that bowhead whales live over a hundred times as long as shrews, even though these...

Dr. Collin Ewald is a molecular biologist and a professor at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zürich (ETH). At ETH, Collin leads the Laboratory of Extracellular Matrix (ECM) Regeneration. Here, his research focuses on age-related ECM remodeling and related longevity interventions. We caught up with him to discuss his lab's development of the...
Michael Geer Interview
Michael Geer is a successful serial entrepreneur who came to the longevity field to get things going. He and his co-founder Pete Ward have recently launched the app Humanity, which offers its users ways to monitor their rates of aging and makes actionable suggestions as to how to slow those rates down. We talked to...
Elderly exercising
Researchers have developed a biological aging clock based on movement data from wearable devices. Using their clock and the same dataset, they identified a few possibly life-prolonging nutrients and drugs [1]. I move, therefore I am Developing reliable biomarkers of aging is crucial for geroscience, since deducing the geroprotective effect of interventions from mortality alone,...
Exercising with data
Humanity has launched a longevity app in the UK that could help you stay healthier for longer and potentially achieve longevity. The HUMANITY app has been launched on the iPhone, and it is due to get an Android version in the near future. This longevity app will be available in the US in September. An...
Researchers at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging have published the results of a longitudinal and functional study of 700 aging mice [1]. The study took several years to complete, with five of the labs at the Buck collaborating. As part of this detailed study, the research team monitored rates of age-related change using...
