Got some too! Not sure what the exact benefit is but might have some, so in this case happy to role the dice - certainly better odds than Metformin or Rapamycin. Moreover, it has a very good safety profile! Millions of men take it combined with alcohol and other substances!
I take Cialis, but not for sex. It’s actually a longevity medicine. Cialis (Tadalafil) is great for the same reason it gives you fantastic erections… it improves blood flow. Studies show that Tadalafil… 34% reduced all-cause mortality 27% reduced major heart disease 34% reduced stroke 32% reduced dementia It has also shown benefit in insulin sensitivity, metabolic health, and reduction of body fat. Women have blood vessels too, so theoretically they'd get the same longevity upside. The research is thinner, but early signals are promising. It’s sad that when men and women could benefit from it can miss out because it’s taboo. My protocol is 5mg daily and I've been on it for about two years. *Observational research shows associations, not causation. Outcomes may be influenced by underlying differences in study populations.

The Swiss are smart! Germany should split up into its different states.

Scientists wanna quantify everything but the actual value of their own research.

Is there a word for the phenomenon when scientists become super defensive about the value of their research, or coming up with vague arguments on why one cannot quantify the value of research?

America is so poor that undergrad students have to share dorms, while in Europe undergrad students have their own rooms or even apartments.

Curious about entropy & aging? There are many open questions about entropy production in open-systems and what the consequences are for aging biology! Come to Cologne to explore this intersection. longevity.technology/news/en… @LongevityTech @Meyer_DH @UniCologne

Later this month I will join a number of patients and biotechs who will be meeting with @US_FDA to discuss the importance of the department codifying its stance towards state Right to Try, Right to Personalized Treatment, and stem cell laws. Since 2016 when @SenRonJohnson first asked HHS and FDA to clarify their enforcement stance towards state programs, and was rebuffed, there has never been an official stance on this issue clarified. Yet, in the 10 years since, HHS and FDA have never actually escalated to enforcement against a doctor or biotech using a state Right to Try program. In one high profile example, they actually granted a drug priority breakthrough status after it was used successfully on 75 patients under Texas Right to Try. To some extent they have clearly been exercising enforcement discretion, which is the right thing for them to do! It's not a good use of their resources to go after companies sending medicine to patients for use under a state law. But, this position being "unwritten" is actively blocking patients from receiving care. And it's time for their position on the matter, whatever it may be, to be made official. These programs represent a chance to catch patients who fall through the cracks in the Federal patient access system. And the fact more and more states continue to pass new laws even today demonstrates a clear mandate from the American people to allow the states to step up to the plate, and get their patients medicine.

What do AI agent friendly databases structures for the biomedical sciences look like?
New Science Blog: Why has AI advanced faster in coding than in biology? To agents, bio databases are like cities built before cars—maddening to drive in because they're designed for different traffic. How do we build infrastructure agents can use? anthropic.com/research/agent…

I would bet that men with girlfriends that are >10 years younger have a lower biological age then their age matched cohort with older girlfriends.

Lots of people when they say that "I need my morning coffee to wake up" actually don't mean for their mind to wake up, but rather for their intestine to wake up. They need coffee as a defacto laxative because their bad fiberless diet doesn't allow them to poop normally. 💩

And fund research on the biology of aging 😉
Bill Gates needs to do three things right now: 1) fire his whole PR machine and stop trying to be admired 2) eat sh*t without nibbling 3) get out of the way of the technical work

Most illicit drugs, when taken rarely won't affect your longevity. Just don't get addicted.

I think people would pay a premium for news articles and magazines that are 100% written by humans and do not allow use of generative AI for writing or imagery.

AI Agents now let us create things that are useless and don't need to exist. Not just true for apps, but very much so in science. AI Slop for all, because it became cheap.
Massive output uptick due to agentic AI. Complete flat adoption.

Soon we can all smoke cigarettes en masse!
In the United States, lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death. Soon, that may change — a lung cancer vaccine has officially entered human trials. A groundbreaking global trial of the world's first mRNA lung cancer vaccine has officially launched, offering a personalized, targeted weapon against the deadliest form of the disease. Doctors have officially initiated human trials for BNT116, the world’s first mRNA lung cancer vaccine targeting non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which is the most common and deadliest form of the disease. Developed by BioNTech, the investigational therapy utilizes the same messenger RNA technology that successfully powered COVID-19 vaccines. However, instead of fighting viruses, this jab is engineered to deliver precise genetic instructions that train the patient's immune system to identify and destroy tumor cells while sparing healthy surrounding tissues from the harsh side effects associated with traditional chemotherapy. The Phase 1 clinical trial is currently underway across 34 research sites in seven countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom, and is enrolling about 130 patients. Delivered via weekly doses followed by long-term maintenance injections, the vaccine is administered alongside immunotherapy to supercharge the body's natural defenses. Early participants, such as 67-year-old London scientist Janusz Racz, have already begun treatment. Researchers hope this proactive approach will not only eliminate existing tumors but also prevent the disease from recurring, potentially transforming the landscape of personalized oncology. source: University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

A great snapshot of the field, and good to see the recognition of comparative and evolutionary biology in this report - we're betting a lot on it @TTIScience.

Great to see that the idea of comparative biology of aging is prominently featured in this report by @socialcapital! At @TTIScience we are working on assembling the largest mammalian database across all molecular layers to study what controls lifespan across the tree of life!
Over the past few months, I've been collaborating with @socialcapital (@chamath's investment vehicle) on a two-part deep dive into the current state of Longevity Biotech and Aging Research. This deep dive aims to be a solid introduction to the field. It assumes no background in biology, medicine, or biotech. If you've been wondering what science knows about aging, what makes us believe aging can be slowed or reversed, or which companies are making real progress toward developing therapies against aging, this is for you! Part 1 is out now. It's a foundation for understanding the biology of aging and the current state of longevity biotech. Part 2 follows shortly, covering the strategies researchers, companies, and investors are pursuing to slow or reverse aging. Thank you, @chamath and @socialcapital team, for the opportunity to work with you on it. And thank you to all contributors who helped to make this deep dive objective and engaging, and who are making anti-aging interventions a reality: @Andrei_Tarkhov, @elimohamad, @fedichev, @KarlPfleger, @MarkHamalainen, @MartinBJensen, @MaxUnfried, @mkaeberlein, @omri_drory, @RaianyRomanni, @realnathancheng, @sebastiangiwa, @shappiron, @shoylev, @statto, @strygah, @ydeigin If any errors are to be found in this deep dive, I own them.
