We back longevity biotech companies developing technologies which can significantly extend healthy human lifespan and are scalable for everyonelonggame.vcJoined April 2024
Cell therapies have enormous potential in longevity and regenerative medicine more broadly. But why are they still so expensive and hard to scale?

How can you use Reinforcement Learning to make better proteins and what does a “Move 37” moment in protein design look like?
We’re taking a look at ProtRL: a framework for aligning protein language models to your desired distributions using reinforcement learning. Filippo Stocco from Noelia Ferruz' lab is telling us all about how it works, why reinforcement learning is important for protein engineering, and how these proteins perform when tested in our lab at Adaptyv.
The crossover between crypto and longevity folk seems confusing at first...
Both require you to deeply question concepts that most people hold as unquestionable: money and death.

Landmark speech in UK’s House of Lords yesterday:
“By becoming the first country to treat ageing as a medical condition, we can chart a course for more effective interventions and improved health outcomes.”

Why do people avoid directly expressing the desire: "I don't want to die"?
It's not just about disappointment: it will happen anyway, so why upset yourself?
It's not just about becoming an outcast: people will think you're strange. The fear of death doesn't raise social status.
It's about the need for a complete overhaul of one's worldview. Everything must be reassessed.
We all consider people whose actions will lead to our death in the future to be bad.
But we also can't call those who do nothing, leading to our death, good either.
"I don't want to die" is a breakdown of moral principles, if, of course, this desire is overwhelming.
"I don't want to die" is a true new ethic, where everything is subordinated to the struggle for existence.
You must behave differently if you seriously don't want to die.
Calls for the fight for life cause an unpleasant feeling that comes from any moralizing. All these considerations require energy, which the brain deems unacceptable. All these considerations take time to understand what to do.
"I don't want to die" is a confrontational position. It's a demand for everyone to act against death. The struggle for existence is a confrontation with the world.
Can we do without a struggle? Yes, it has been done before and turned out poorly.
@biogerontology Is this going to be changed by development of lower cost ways of conducting trials?
I've seen some companies work on "in silico" type simulation of human trails with different molecules, to help reduce the time and cost
This paper will make waves in the aging research community and the results will need to be replicated (I would not fully believe it until I see ITP data) but looks very promising.
IL-11 and downstream targets are very promising.
Congrats to the team and kudos to Singapore!

This new paper provides a potential explanation for why psilocybin has such a profound impact on alleviating depression...
It indicates a long lasting reduction in self-focused thinking and rumination!
After a high dose of psilocybin, the brain desynchronizes at a massive scale, causing loss of our sense of self, time, and space. This may drive the burst of plasticity caused by psychedelics. The next day, brain activity has largely returned to normal, but an echo remains – a
