[Mountain View, September 17, 2025] — Lifespan Research Institute (LRI) today announced the launch of the Public Longevity Group (PLG), a new initiative focused on bridging the cultural gap between scientific breakthroughs in aging and their public acceptance. To kickstart its work, PLG has opened a crowdfunding campaign to develop tools that measure and strengthen...

New results published in the journal Biofabrication may help researchers on their quest to regenerate vascularized tissues. 

A group of researchers have devised an effective anti-cancer therapy by loading cytokine-coding RNA fragments into lipid nanoparticles and injecting them directly into the tumor [1]. Anti-cancer immunotherapy is a powerful novel strategy that has given hope to millions of cancer patients. The immune system has a few aces up its sleeve when fighting cancer,...

Researchers have published a new animal study showing that the plant flavonoid naringenin may be useful in targeting problematic senescent cells in the brain. Ribes meyeri (also known as Ribes meyeri maxim) is a native plant to central Asia, Mongolia and Northeast Afghanistan and is part of the Saxifragaceae family and the Ribes genus; this...

Recently, we had the opportunity to interview Rick Kiessig, the co-founder of Kimer Med, a company developing a broad-spectrum antiviral that has the potential to destroy a wide range of viruses. Its drug, known as VTose, is a variant of an older antiviral drug known as DRACO, which unfortunately failed to gain sufficient funding a...

According to new research, mutations accumulate in the mitochondrial DNA of egg cells, leading to changes in cellular metabolism, which result in reduced fertility. The study also showed that Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) treatment can restore the metabolic balance in aging mouse oocytes, rescuing fertility. Defective eggs Although malfunctioning of mitochondria and the accumulation of mutations...

A new study published in Archives of Dermatological Research has shown that a novel microporous membrane can promote the regeneration of healthy human skin. Skin regeneration Skin regeneration has been a major goal for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. However, natural skin is difficult to recapitulate because of its many different layers, components (such as...
