ABC7 Exclusive: New study reveals promising results for age reversal pill on dogs

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, health

Next trial will be 10 dogs. And human trials for osteo-arthritis in late 2025.


SARASOTA, Fla. (WWSB) — We’ve all heard the phrase 50 is the new 40″ but what if 90 became the new 40? It may sound like science fiction but authors of a new age reversal study on dogs say it could be closer than you think.

One Suncoast rescue organization was granted permission to use the age reversal pill on two of it’s senior dogs struggling with health issues.

Neural circuit basis of placebo pain relief

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, neuroscience

A study in @ Nature identifies using mouse models a neural circuit that may underpin pain relief caused by the placebo effect.


Analgesia from the expectation of pain relief is mediated by rostral anterior cingulate cortex neurons that project to the pontine nucleus.

Scientists discover potential secret to reversing aging

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, chemistry, life extension

The new research harnesses previously unknown features of this ancient viral DNA, creating a biological clock to track a person’s age from the DNA’s chemical changes.

And the researchers now believe that new antiretroviral therapies, similar to those used to fight the HIV virus and AIDS, might one day help reverse the signs of aging.

‘Our findings indicate that retroelement clocks capture previously undetected facets of biological aging,’ said study co-author Dr Michael Corley, an assistant professor of immunology at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York.

NASA and ISS National Lab Collaborate on $4M Grant for Space-Based Disease Research

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, government

“Space-based research has a long history of contributing to advancements on Earth,” said Dr. Lisa Carnell.


The International Space Station (ISS) has been a beacon of scientific and medical research ever since the station’s first module was launched in 1999, as astronauts continue to push the boundaries regarding microgravity research that has contributed to advancing science and medical knowledge back on Earth. To continue this, NASA and the ISS National Laboratory recently announced a partnership through the ISS National Lab Research Announcement (NLRA) 2024-09: Igniting Innovation: Science in Space to Cure Disease on Earth that will provide up to $4 million with the goal of helping to advance disease diagnosis and treatment back on Earth.

Through collaboration between government agencies, industry, and academia, the NLRA hopes to accomplish several objectives pertaining to developing medical technologies on Earth, including disease mechanism models, population and disease diversity, drug discovery & development, drug delivery, and drug resistance. This announcement comes after the ISS National Laboratory announced in July 2024 that five projects were selected for the Cancer Research in Space for Life on Earth with the goal of providing $7 million in grants to advance cancer research in microgravity onboard the ISS.
