A Call for Matching Donors for the LEV Foundation " Robust Mouse Rejuvenation 2 " Fundraiser

The Longevity Escape Velocity (LEV) Foundation was founded by Aubrey de Grey to address an important missing aspect of the ongoing work to produce treatments that target the underlying mechanisms of aging. While the research and development community has made sizable strides in the past decade, and the first rejuvenation therapies now exist in at least prototype form, it remains the case that next to no-one is conducting combination studies that use two or more of these interventions. When considering therapies that can repair forms of the cell and tissue damage that cause aging, it seems plausible that two different therapies will be additive, producing larger results than either alone. The LEV Foundation is presently conducting the Robust Mouse Rejuvenation 1 Study, and is raising funds for the next study in line, Robust Mouse Rejuvenation 2, testing other promising interventions to prove that there is synergy between very different forms of repair therapy. These studies, and the many more like them that should be running throughout the research community and industry, but are not, will form the first foundation for the next few decades of medical practice. It has always been apparent that there would be a toolkit of many rejuvenation therapies, each addressing some aspect of aging, and that these therapies would be used in combination. But that conjecture still requires concrete proof to convince the industry and the medical community. Many of the Fight Aging...
