The Future of Longevity: Could Humans Really Live to 150?

A TIME Magazine longevity panel, featuring Harvard’s David Sinclair, explores whether breakthroughs in AI, cellular rejuvenation, and research on sex differences could help today’s children live far longer.

David Sinclair and Jennifer Garrison discuss whether AI advancements, cellular rejuvenation techniques, and research on sex differences can make a 150-year lifespan possible.

Aging &amp; Longevity

Model: 20-month-old female C57BL/J mice 
Dosage: 10 nmol/kg/day of semaglutide

Semaglutide extends mouse lifespan and targets signs of aging, such as diminished NAD+, while mimicking the anti-aging effects of caloric restriction (consuming fewer calories). 


The study was led by Dr. Danica Chen (image: berkeley.edu). 

Scientists find that meloxicam preserves muscle mass and strength in aged mice while sustaining mitochondrial function and activating multiple molecules associated with longevity. 


Skin &amp; Muscle

By examining chemical tags on DNA that modulate our genes, scientists have discovered which genes are most affected by aging across more than a dozen human tissues.

The study was led by Dr. Nir Eynon from the Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute (image: vu.edu.au). 

Epigenetics

Model: Old (17- to 19-month-old) C57BL6 mice 
Dosage: 14 mg/mg/day of rapamycin in food for 5 months

A purported longevity drug, rapamycin, alters immune cells associated with cancer and reduces brain inflammation in mice.
