Reversing Nerve Cell Age to Combat ALS, Alzheimer’s
Super proud of Dr. Kelly Rich, senior postdoc in our lab who's pioneering nerve cell epigenetic age reversal to treat diseases such as ALS and Alzheimer's 🪨⭐️ https://open.spotify.com/episode/7nWkEH5li36oW9monEIG8B
Resveratrol Activates SIRT1 to Shield Kidneys From Fat
Resveratrol protects kidneys from fat accumulation and diabetic kidney disease by activating SIRT1, similar to its effects on fatty liver 🐁 www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1098882326000067
PRC2 Links Embryonic Methylation to Age Reversal
Embryos and old people have a lot in common: the PRC2 protein complex, which controls DNA methylation during embryogenesis, is a key participant in age reversal via epigenetic reprogramming link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1038/s44320-026-00195-9.pdf
FDA Clears First Human Cellular Reprogramming Trial
Fascinating interview with Chief Scientist Sharon Rosenzweig-Lipson about working with the FDA, prepping for clinical trials, and what's next lifespan.io/news/first-human-cellular-reprogramming-trial-cleared-by-the-fda/
Blood Biomarkers Reveal Cardiometabolic Risk Beyond Weight
New Cardiometabolic clock identified blood biomarkers that associate with disease and early death. While body weight seemingly wasn't a major determinant, these were: HbA1c, creatinine, lymphocyte %, urea nitrogen, RDW, pulse & systolic blood pressure
FDA Greenlights Human Trials for Epigenetic Age Reversal

Team Achieves Safe Age‑Reversal Breakthrough at LiFE BIOSCIENCES
Meet the LiFE BIOSCIENCES team, from L to R, Dr. Michael Ringel (COO), Dr. Sharon Rosenzweig-Lipson, (CSO) and Jerry McLaughlin (CEO). Not pictured Amit Shashank (CAO) and my co-founder and founding CEO, Tristan Edwards. A shout out to my lab...
Chris Petty Advances Cell Age Reset, ER‑100 Trials Near
PhD student Chris Petty presents his latest results to the lab. His project is to uncover the mystery of how it’s possible to reset the age of a cell. Where does the back up lie? It’s one of the biggest...
Continuous Glucose Sensor Outperforms HbA1c in Predicting Disease
Continuous glucose sensor (GGM) foundation model predicts Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular deaths better than the standard blood biomarker, HbA1c
New Study Shows Telomeres Reset in First Week
Did you know that we begin life the same age as our parents? Then during the first week of life we undergo a reset. A new study has just mapped how telomeres are also reset during this process https://academic.oup.com/reproduction/article/171/1/xaaf005/8424158
Consistent Sleep Beats Length in Predicting Mortality
Sleep regularity appears to be a stronger predictor of mortality risk than sleep duration https://elifesciences.org/articles/88359
Longevity Biotech Shifts Focus to Root Causes
Longevity biotech now targets root causes rather than single diseases. This is a paradigm shift in medicine
DNA Breaks Speed Aging; Cloning Reveals Epigenetic Loss
Introducing controlled DNA breaks accelerates biological aging without mutations, and animals can be cloned from old adult cells, suggesting aging is caused by information loss at the epigenetic level
Low Air Pressure Clears Senescent Cells, Extends Mouse Lifespan
Intermittent bouts of low air pressure prevent hair loss, weight gain, osteoporosis, and extend the lifespan of mice. Ascribed to selective lysosomal killing of senescent cells. Could aerobic exercise or high altitudes mimic this effect? 🧵 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41551-025-01584-5
MEK Inhibitor Trametinib Boosts
Trametinib is an approved drug for melanoma. It inhibits MEK1/2 thereby shifting cells away from “grow at all costs” to maintenance & repair🐁Trimetaprib extends lifespan ~15% & with rapamycin a whopping 30%
Inflammation Speeds DNA Methylation Aging, Impairing Cognition
Systemic inflammation is associated with cognitive impairment. New paper suggests this relationship is caused by an acceleration of DNA methylation age https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/17501911.2025.2595905
Sequencing Boom Drives Quantity over Quality in Biology Publishing
Anyone else feel that since next-gen sequencing and bioinformatics, publishing a paper in biology has become increasingly about quantity than quality?
Longevity Demands Whole‑Life Habits, Not One Simple Fix
I’m often asked what the one thing to increase longevity. If it were that simple, many more people would already live to 100 Here are some tips: 1. Avoid sugar, simple carbs, alcohol 2. Lose your breath for 10 min 3x/week...
Low SIRT1 and Cholesterol Link Depression; NAD⁺ May Help
New mouse study shows cortisol, inflammation, and low SIRT1 activity all lead to depression caused by reduced neuronal cholesterol. Could statins exacerbate? And since SIRT1 is NAD⁺-dependent, could NAD⁺ boosting help treat depression?
Spaceflight Triggers Temporary Epigenetic Aging, Then Reversal
Space could be a testing ground for age reversal elonmusk. In 4 astronauts, epigenetic age of blood cells rose ~2 yrs by day 7 of orbit & returned to normal (or even younger) upon return 🚀 🌎 mason_lab @davefurman onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/acel.70360
