UNITY Biotechnology was the first senolytic startup out of the gate, and the failure of its Phase II trial in osteoarthritis was a crushing disappointment. A careful look back at the underlying science and three new scientific papers give us a good idea why and suggest ways to move forward.
A supporter asks us to compare the expected benefits of Cyclarity’s UDP-003 to chelation therapy. Although both target the age-related scourge of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), EDTA (if it works) dampens down the worst aspects of having ASCVD, while UPD-003 is a SENS “damage-repair” therapeutic which is expected to remove the underlying damage itself and reverse the disease process.
A significant and vital step forward for the longevity field: the Biomarkers of Aging Consortium. Formed of a diverse group of academic and industry members, the Consortium seeks to “establish reliable biomarkers of aging, particularly for the identification and evaluation of longevity interventions.

As partners of the Alliance for Longevity Initiatives (A4LI), SRF is excited to announce the formation of the Longevity Science Caucus to promote initiatives aimed at increasing the healthy average lifespan of all Americans. Read more…
One way senescent cells accumulate is when one senescent cell turns a neighboring cell senescent through SASP secretion. SRF scientists have discovered that these secondary senescent cells are resistant to the classic senolytic drugs. However, they have identified a new senolytic strategy that kills these senescent cells.
Scientists at SENS Research Foundation led by Dr. Tesfahun (Tes) Dessale Admasu have just published their exciting new senolytic strategy to destroy a wider range of senescent cells than has up to now been possible.
Metformin has been proposed as an “anti-aging drug,” and scientists are organizing TAME, a major clinical trial to test the idea. In the final installment of this 5-part series, we look at TAME itself: how it’s structured, how it’s justified, and how the results could impact the push for longevity therapeutics.
Metformin has been proposed as an “anti-aging drug,” and scientists are organizing TAME, a major clinical trial to test the idea. In Part 4 of this 5-part series, we look at human data on metformin and neurodegenerative aging diseases.
Metformin has been proposed as an “anti-aging drug,” and scientists are organizing TAME, a major clinical trial to test the idea. In Part 3 of this 5-part series, we look at human trials of metformin in prevention and treatment of cancer.
Metformin has been proposed as an “anti-aging drug,” and scientists are organizing TAME, a major clinical trial to test the idea. In Part 2 of this 5-part series, we look at some of the human studies on metformin, including a flawed observational study that created the illusion that diabetics on metformin actually live longer than people without diabetes.
