Excited to share our new publication! We previously showed that age reversal can be achieved using transcription factor-based reprogramming. Now, we demonstrate that it can also be done with chemical cocktails to achieve lifespan extension!

In vivo, this new chemical approach to cellular reprogramming significantly extended C. elegans lifespan, healthspan, and even reproductive span, with no observed toxicity!
Thank you to the team, @schlucas_@trickpaine@sarapico7@kgiperez and collaborators!
We also acknowledge the important work of dedicated groups and recent publications who help move reprogramming towards future translational applications 🚀 @gladyshev_lab@davidasinclair
Beautiful paper and amazing organism. Rejuvenation by regeneration, even at the distal non-regenerated sites. In vivo reprogramming? So much aging biology still to be discovered…
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.
