Russia has committed $26 billion to longevity science, while China is advancing large-scale stem cell anti-aging trials and expanding aggressive investment in regenerative medicine and longevity biotechnology. Scientific leadership in longevity is rapidly becoming a defining frontier of global competitiveness. The United States cannot afford to sit on the sidelines.

‘Autistic kids are being experimented on’: inside America’s booming market for unproven stem cell infusions In its marketing, the clinic said that 85% of its autistic patients have had “meaningful improvement” in their behaviour and calmness, communication and speech, sleep, and seizure activity. Should stem cell regulations in the U.S. be tightened or relaxed? theguardian.com/society/ng-i…

BIG anti aging news China just launched its first large scale stem cell anti aging trial, enrolling 2,000 adults aged 50 to test whether stem cells can help preserve strength, physical function, resilience, and healthier aging. The therapy uses umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cells, which may help regulate inflammation, support tissue repair, and improve age related decline. This is a large, multicenter randomized controlled trial, exactly the kind of serious human evidence longevity medicine needs. That's a pretty big deal. anti aging progress is accelerating enormously in the last few weeks. LEV is near

After 25 years of brave & brilliant work by hundreds of scientists in my lab to understand then safely reverse aging for the first time, it was moving to witness the first human dose being delivered 🥹 nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

A 2025 study found that psilocin (the active metabolite of psilocybin) extended replicative lifespan of human lung fibroblasts by up to 57% and adult skin fibroblasts by 51% in lab conditions (higher dose). It reduced senescence markers, oxidative stress, and preserved telomeres. Psilocybin also improved survival in aged mice (80% vs 50% over 10 months).

China launches 'human artificial embryos' to space in bid to see whether reproduction is possible off-world China's Tianzhou-10 mission just delivered embryo-like structures made from living stem cells to the Tiangong space station. Experiments could shed light on how radiation and microgravity affect human reproduction. livescience.com/space/space-…

🚨 HUMANS CAN NOW GENERATE ENERGY FROM SUNLIGHT? Swedish researchers are reportedly developing photosynthetic human skin that can create tiny amounts of glucose using sunlight, similar to how plants make energy. Scientists say engineered skin cells with chloroplast-like structures could help people with fatigue disorders, astronauts, and survival missions in extreme environments. The technology would not replace food, but it could give the body a small continuous energy boost directly from daylight itself. If this becomes real, humanity may be entering an era where biology is no longer fixed… but redesigned. Source:
