Year End Fundraisers For Rejuvenation Research at SENS Research Foundation and LEV Foundation
When it comes to treating aging as a medical condition, it is important to fund the right sort of research program. All too much of the field of translational aging research is focused on finding ways to produce small benefits, such as via the use of repurposed existing supplements. This may produce gains for investors, but it won't meaningfully change the present shape of a human life. We need to do better than that. Fortunately, there are a small number of non-profit organizations and academic groups focused on development of the means of rejuvenation, rather than on means of modestly slowing aging. Two of the best are t...

Can Removing Amyloid Early Benefit Alzheimer's Disease Patients?
The amyloid cascade hypothesis of Alzheimer's disease suggests that aggregation of misfolded amyloid-β sets the stage for a feedback loop between chronic inflammation of brain tissue and tau aggregation. It is that second step that causes severe pathology and death, and once it is underway in earnest a patient's amyloid-β burden is of little relevance. This the explanation given for the lack of patient benefits resulting from the successful clearance of amyloid-β using forms of immunotherapy. The industry has now shifted to testing these treatments in patients at an earlier stage of Alzheimer's disease, and there are pr...
