Monkeying With the Clocks Via Metformin
A recent study claimed to find that metformin rejuvenated cognitive function in aging monkeys and lowered biological age on a nonhuman primate biological age clock. The details make the result unconvincing.

Lifespan.io (Life Extension Advocacy Foundation) and SENS Research Foundation are excited to announce the completion of their merger, forming a new 501(c)(3) non-profit.
Lifespan Research Institute (“LRI”) will develop, promote, and ensure widespread access to regenerative medicine solutions targeting the disabilities and diseases of aging, combining direct research efforts with robust education, affiliation, and outreach programs. The newly merged organization will focus on two core areas: Research and Outreach.
SENS Research Foundation is seeking volunteers for blood donations.
Your participation will help advance our understanding of the immune system and mitochondrial biology in aging.
SENS Research Foundation, dedicated to advancing rejuvenation biotechnologies, has recently begun subleasing lab space in the heart of Silicon Valley.
The sublease includes access to an extensive list of laboratory equipment, a break room, conference rooms, and much more.

SRF is a proud sponsor of the Phaedon Institute’s Seno-Therapeutics Summit 2023. Dr. Amit Sharma spoke at the Summit – his presentation was entitled, “Next-generation Senotherapeutics: From harnessing the immune system to targeting newer vulnerabilities of senescent cells.”
The summit was hosted by the Buck Institute For Research On Aging in Novato, CA. Entitled Seno-Therapeutics: Past, Present & Future of the Science of Cellular Senescence and Therapeutics, the summit was held November 7-8, 2023.

A supporter asks: Everyone knows that mitochondrial free radicals are a key driver of aging, and antioxidants don’t seem to offer any protection. Birds are supposed to have very clean-burning mitochondria, so should you maybe try to cut them off at the source by re-engineering our mitochondria to be more like those of birds?
A supporter asks if “backing up” copies of the mitochondrially-encoded genes in the nucleus is really viable, granted free radical damage in the nucleus. We emphasize the many additional ways that the nuclear copies will be safer than the mitochondrial originals, that the “backup copies” can be backed up again, and how they and additional strategies will buy us time for even better solutions.
