If you wanted to live longer and healthier, would you rather take a drug that:?

Now the supplement AG1 is in airport vending machines.
At right is the complete list of peer-reviewed, independent research studies that show an improvement in health outcomes.

Beyond the Hallmarks: What are we missing in ageing research?
At the Global Conference on Gerophysics 2025, I posed several uncomfortable—but necessary—questions:
🔹 Why haven't we don better than caloric restriction for lifespan extension in mammals—after 50 years?
🔹 Have the Hallmarks of Aging helped us or narrowed our focus too much?
🔹 Are biological age clocks really measuring anything meaningful—or are we just confusing ourselves and consumers?
🔹 Why has the field largely abandoned discovery science?
🔹 Can AI solve aging without better data? (Short answer: no.)
Aging biology is complex. Our tools are improving. But if we want breakthroughs, we need real innovation and must massively expand our data generation efforts into the dark matter of longevity, not more of the same.

Our Applied AI team at @RetroBio_ + some @OpenAI homies working together for a few month have created GPT4b-micro, a sequence-based model for, among other things, protein design!

🧵 Well, friends, after a long, epic run at Bloomberg, I'm launching my own thing - Core Memory - a sci-tech media company making movies, shows, pods and stories.
We're going deep on brains, energy, AI, transporation, manufacturing, you name it. And we could use your help.

Congrats to the @DogAgingProject for securing $7M NIH grant for their rapamycin dog longevity study
will increase n from 170 dogs --> 580. seem to have incr. focus on cardiovascular aging
and no - LOY-002 is not rapa. nor metformin ;)

Good papers lead to more questions than they answer. That's because (as Blaise Pascal wrote) knowledge is like a sphere: the larger it gets the larger also its surface, which is its interface with the unknown.

Our assessment of a person's epigenetic ("biological") age has been centered on DNA methylation. A new @ScienceAdvances report shows that a set of 7 histone markers has comparable accuracy and also uncovers new pathways of aging biology @ollimacsacul @prof_horvath @EricaLarschan

You know our WormBot-AI platform rapidly identifies lifespan extending interventions.
It's also an effective way of identifying disease modifying interventions.
Here's a powerful new drug synergy that suppresses amyloid disease (think Alzheimer's)!

Frustration is bargaining with reality, hoping it will change.
Yelling at traffic doesn’t make it move faster. Rehearsing the same complaints about your spouse doesn’t change their behavior. Getting angry at the delayed flight doesn’t make it take off sooner. While you’re busy fighting what is, you’re blind to what could be.
All the energy you put into arguing with reality comes at the expense of improving your situation. The mountain doesn’t care how much you yell at it, but you’ll find a path around it if you stop and look.

New in @Nature🧬: We discovered why keeping weight off is so challenging - fat cells retain an epigenetic #memory of their previous state, even after weight loss. This helps explain the biology behind weight regain. Excited to share our newest work! nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

I am pleased to present the latest work from our lab, a human heart-macrophage assembloid model powered by self-organization that incorporates autologous cardiac embryonic macrophages into human pluripotent stem cell-derived heart organoids:

The cytosolic DNA sensor cGAS plays a key role in inflammaging and is being explored as a target for age-related diseases.
But caution—paradoxically, cGAS knockout mice exhibit premature aging and increased inflammation!🤯
