@agingbiology.bsky.socialHas the longevity field been a delusion? I don't agree with everything in this article, but it raises important points regarding the hype, commercial interests, and unfulfilled promises of the longevity space. We need more reproducible research and greater investment in the biology of aging.
Show PostHuman longevity depends on planetary health. Environmental changes disproportionately affect older people, while clean air, safe water, nutritious food and safe temperatures are fundamental to healthy ageing. My thoughts at the Climate Change Summit in Bucharest, Romania.
Show PostA promising new rejuvenation factor discovered by George Church et al. 🚀 Using a transcriptomic screen they found SRSF1, an RNA-processing factor that restores youthful profiles in cells. In a small mouse study, activating SRSF1 extended median lifespan by 14%. www.nature.com/articles/s43...
