@Shadoff_d David, I've been thinking the same thing for years. I see people getting rid of their real hardware for FPGAs thinking they are the answer, however what they don't realize is developers like me can't use them as the golden standard because they are ever so slightly different.
Key players:
Life Biosciences: first human dosing of a partial reprogramming therapy, targeting ophthalmology first
BioAge Labs: IPO plus two Big Pharma collaborations validating its aging-biology data platform
NewLimit: fastest capital velocity in epigenetic reprogramming, still pre-clinical
Retro Biosciences: best-funded of the private reprogramming players, with a clearer path in autophagy than in reprogramming
Altos Labs: launched in 2022 with the largest single commitment in the sector’s history ($3B), still without a disclosed clinical program
Insilico Medicine: the AI-native, Asia-anchored platform play, positioning discovery speed as its edge

Could light be an adjunct therapy for cancer?🚦
Shining red or green light on stem cells & T cells stimulates a protein called OPN4, normally found in the eye, and causes them to secrete factors that slow the growth of breast cancer cells 🧵
For 25 years, my team has been told we were wrong, by scientists, big pharma, the media, ethicists, and trolls. It hasn’t been easy
Looking back, it was 100% worth it
Here’s why you should believe in yourself… 🧵
The use of bacterially produced enzymes to make NMN cheaply is the reason our lab finds endotoxin in some NMN batches. Endotoxin causes systemic inflammation.
Consumers and scientists, beware.

In the 1990s, a Harvard scientist made a wild claim:
"Aging is the loss of epigenetic information — and we can restore it."
The entire field dismissed him.
30 years later, the FDA just approved his gene therapy for the first human trial.
Here's why this changes everything: 🧵
NEW PAPER in Cell: Scientists have reprogrammed allergy (mast) cells to carry cancer-killing viruses straight to tumors, which if it works in humans could lead to more precise, personalized cancer treatments with fewer side effects
In anticipation of the first epigenetic age reversal drug candidate ER-100 going into humans, here is our latest collab review:

we’re less than 10 years from decoding all animal communication and BCIs that let us talk back
an entire kingdom of minds we’ve been ignoring for 300,000 years
going to be really fun
Two years of structured, vigorous exercise reversed about 20 years of age-related structural changes in the hearts of sedentary 50-year-olds
Under Dr. Ben Levine’s protocol, participants gradually built up to 5–6 hours/week of training, including Norwegian 4x4 intervals, endurance sessions, and strength work
By the end, the size and stiffness of their hearts resembled those of a typical 30-year-old
Vigorous exercise is powerful medicine
