Among the hallmarks of aging, DNA damage is both one of the most important and one of the hardest to crack. A couple of years ago, when I first learned about Matter Bioworks at a prominent longevity conference, I was amazed at the audacity of the small startup’s vision: actually fixing our DNA, including the...

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...

Scientists have discovered a possible mechanism behind age-related inflammation. It involves wrong building blocks being incorporated into mitochondrial DNA during replication and can be countered by adding the correct ones [1]. Too similar to bacteria Mitochondria, the cells’ energy-producing organelles, are considered to have developed from bacteria that once entered an ancient cell and stayed,...

Scientists have reported a breakthrough in treating solid tumor cancers using a Velcro-like tool that targets glycans, surface sugars especially abundant in cancer cells. This potentially off-the-shelf therapy does not need adjustment to individual cancer types or patients. No sugarcoating this Antibody-based cancer immunotherapies, such as chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cells were once hailed...

Scientists have discovered a pathway behind the known effect of exercise suppressing appetite: a lactate-related metabolite that acts directly on certain neurons. Not just more calories burned It has been long known that, somewhat counterintuitively, exercise transiently suppresses appetite. Scientists suspect that this contributes to exercise-related weight loss. However, the exact mechanisms behind this effect,...

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...
