In 2022, a number of startups made headlines in the rejuvenation/longevity industry by conducting groundbreaking research or publishing notable progress about the longevity ecosystem. Let’s take a look at the most notable names in the industry as we wrap up the year.  1. Altos Lab- Rejuvenation Biotech Jeff Bezos is the founder of Altos Lab,

Biotech and longevity pioneer Alex Zhavoronkov has formally announced a personal Longevity Pledge to commit all his remaining time, wealth, and resources to creating and supporting research and clinical solutions that will extend healthy productive longevity to everyone on the planet.  He has also appealed to other altruistic billionaires and successful founders to dedicate themselves

In 2007,  Dr. Shinya Yamanaka, based in Japan, successfully converted normal cells with specialized functions into stem cells that can be manipulated into any cell type.  The process used four major molecules known as Yamanaka factors, later earning Dr. Yamanaka the 2012 Nobel Prize for Physiology and Medicine  More than 15 years later, scientists have

Jinfiniti, a spin-out of Augusta University, is set to debut a new set of biomarkers that could help patients understand their aging health. Jinfiniti began operations in 2018 with $500,000 in seed funding. The company’s main product, the AgingSOS testing kit, features nine blood-based biomarkers that can give useful insight into how dietary and lifestyle changes

What if we could keep our older population fit and strong while warding off the key indicators of aging? Well, a new supplement named GlyNac could potentially unlock this possibility. Recent human trials with GlyNac have shown immense promise in reversing the signs of aging such as cellular senescence and oxidative stress, among many other

Declining mental health has a greater impact on aging compared to smoking. That’s according to a study carried out by Deep Development on a cohort of 11,914 Chinese adults. The study now recommends factoring in psychological and mental health when developing anti-aging interventions.  For years, researchers have known that mental health is essential for longevity

Aging and the environment play a far greater role in the expression of your gene profiles as you grow older than your genetic variations at birth. This is according to a recent study carried out by researchers from the University of California, Berkeley; which analyzed the effects of genetics, aging, and the environment on some

Researchers from Arizona State University have discovered a dual-function mRNA that can be used to produce a protein or make a non-coding telomerase RNA. The discovery is unprecedented in that it challenges the main principle of molecular biology, which dictates that the mRNA molecule strictly acts as a carrier of genetic information to build proteins.   

Researchers from some of the top global anti-aging institutions have published a new study in the journal, Aging, signifying that psychological factors play a key role in the rate of aging in older adults. According to the study, chronic states of sadness and loneliness can add up to 1.65 years to your biological age. Biological

A joint research study published in the journal Science has presented evidence that longevity genetics are influenced by both age and gender. Similarly, another paper published in the same journal by Joao Pedro de Magalhaes from the University of Birmingham highlights the technical challenges that the team faced with understanding how aging works, as well
