Aging is arguably the root cause of most major diseases (loss of function in our cells). Four years ago, we made a bet that aging was treatable, and NewLimit was born.
NewLimit now has a prototype drug that reverses the age of some human cells (restores function they had when they were younger), and a clinical trial scheduled for next year (with more drug candidates in the pipeline).

Cryptography problem: make an invertible, easy-in-both-directions function from [0...2^256 - 1] to [0...2^256 - 2] (or more generally, -k for small k) where the exceptions to the invertibility are computationally infeasible to find.
Has there been any work on this?
