NEW: Vladimir Putin is reportedly pouring $26 billion into life-extension research involving gene therapy drugs, pig-grown organs for transplant, & 3D-printed human tissue.
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.

🚨 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.

Umbilical cord blood transplant with pooled stem cell product shows 96% survival and no GVHD in leukemia patients.
"This is the first time transplant patients received cells from what amounts to nine different human beings."
None of the patients experienced severe acute or chronic graft-versus-host disease.
