Longest Aging Clock Study to Date Shows Robust Improvement in Mortality Risk Prediction

A new study provides evidence that using aging clocks based on molecular tagging patterns on DNA (epigenetic aging clocks) to take multiple age readings across time outperforms taking single measurements in predicting mortality.

An Institute for Research on Aging study provides evidence that using epigenetic aging tests at multiple time points predicts mortality better than a single measurement.

Peter Fedichev’s Physics-Based Approach to Aging: A New Longevity Framework

Peter Fedichev describes aging as a three-variable system of stress (from physical, psychological, or molecular stressors), noise (small random biological fluctuations), and damage (cumulative wear-and-tear).

Peter Fedichev has proposed a physics-based framework for aging, encompassing stress, noise (small random biological fluctuations), and damage (cumulative wear-and-tear).

Approved Human Study Sets Up Pivotal Test for Aging Theory from Harvard’s David Sinclair

In a major proving ground test for the longevity field, the FDA has given its approval for a human trial for a gene therapy attempting a near-total rejuvenating reset of cells.

The Rise of China’s Longevity Movement: A Quest to Defy Aging

China’s national project to crush aging encompasses longevity labs, “immortality islands,” and grapeseed pills, as well as exorbitant claims based on sometimes questionable science.

(Attendees at a conference in Shanghai try out a cryogenic chamber in which temperatures plummeted to approximately -200 degrees Fahrenheit, meant to slow aging | New York Times)

A surge in the Chinese public’s interest in longevity science has led to substantial investments from the state and private companies in aging research.
