At 75 years, the NHS is now old enough that (if it were a human!) it would likely be suffering from multiple chronic diseases.

For it (another other health services) to succeed over the next 75 years, they will need to address ageing: youtube.com/watch?v=tNn-2TXzSa

The world’s oldest person, Jeanne Calment, died on 4th August 1997, aged 122 years and 164 days.

She is a MASSIVE STATISTICAL OUTLIER.

So when will her record be broken?

The world’s oldest woman, French nun Lucile Randon, who survived both world wars, the 1919 flu pandemic, and even saw off a covid infection aged 117!!, died yesterday aged 118 years and 340 days.

RIP Sister Randon.

Oh @MedCrisis you massive cynic what made you this way

Oh right, half the longevity industry.

Very interesting article though!

Can't wait for the biohacker longevity bros to start tuning their CGMs to ant mode and infecting themselves with tapeworms. Ants have pretty similar physiology to humans, right? About as close as lobsters? We should probably draw some major conclusions, write a self help book quantamagazine.org/ants-live-1

There’s a new Hallmarks of Aging paper!

The original 2013 paper is the most cited in biogerontology, and listed 9 potential causes of aging. The new ‘expanded universe’ adds 3:
• Disabled ‘macroautophagy’
• Microbiome changes
• Chronic inflammation

Great summary of last year in longevity science from Eleanor Sheekey! I’d missed the paper on learning from the regeneration of reindeer antlers, and I enjoyed being reminded of the WILD way immune cells lengthen telomeres (by theft from other cells!!)

Interesting feed-back by João Pedro de Magalhães on bird site, pointing to this paper: "Gene Size Matters: An Analysis of Gene Length in the Human Genome"

Gene length bias strikes again (is everything in biased by gene length, GC content, or both?):
Aging is associated with a systemic length-associated transcriptome imbalance

New video!

Dissecting last week’s viral Twitter thread about a very rich guy ‘becoming 5.1 years younger’…and it’s actually rather more interesting than ‘it’s all total nonsense’!
