ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE OpenAI Upgrades Its Smartest AI Model With Improved Reasoning Skills Will Knight | Wired “The o3 model scores much higher on several measures than its predecessor, OpenAI says, including ones that measure complex coding-related skills and advanced math and science competency. It is three times better than o1 at answering questions posed by […]

In the late 1800s, Spanish neuroscientist Santiago Ramón y Cajal drew hundreds of images of neurons. His exquisite work influenced our understanding of what they look like: Cells with a bulbous center, a forest of tree-like branches on one end, and a long, smooth tail on the other. Centuries later, these images remain textbook. But […]

Brain implants have improved dramatically in recent years, but they’re still invasive and unreliable. A new kind of brain-machine interface using living neurons to form connections could be the future. While companies like Neuralink have recently provided some flashy demos of what could be achieved by hooking brains up to computers, the technology still has […]

When Jeanne Calment died at the age of 122, her longevity had researchers scratching their heads. Although physically active for most of her life, she was also a regular smoker and enjoyed wine—lifestyle choices that are generally thought to decrease healthy lifespan. Teasing apart the intricacies of human longevity is complicated. Diet, exercise, and other […]

Publishing is one of many fields poised for disruption by tech companies and artificial intelligence. New platforms and approaches, like a book imprint by Microsoft and a self-publishing tech startup that uses AI, promise to make publishing faster and more accessible than ever. But they also may threaten jobs—and demand a reconsideration of the status […]

With a single shot, scientists protected pregnant mice from a deadly complication called pre-eclampsia. The shot, inspired by mRNA vaccines, contains mRNA instructions to make a protein that reverses damage to the placenta—which occurs in the condition—protecting both mother and growing fetus. Pre-eclampsia causes 75,000 maternal deaths and 500,000 fetal and newborn deaths every year […]

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE Google’s New Project Astra Could Be Generative AI’s Killer App Will Douglas Heaven | MIT Technology Review “Last week I was taken through an unmarked door on an upper floor of a building in London’s King’s Cross district into a room with strong secret-project vibes. The word ‘ASTRA’ was emblazoned in giant letters […]

Creating induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) causes mutant mitochondrial populations to change, and researchers have investigated this phenomenon more thoroughly. Easy to mutate Being outside of the protection […]

BioAge Labs, Inc. (“BioAge”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing therapeutic product candidates for metabolic diseases by targeting the biology of human aging, today announced a multi-year research collaboration with Novartis. The […]

A recent investigation into Hungarian Olympic champions suggests slower epigenetic aging and differences in gene methylation patterns between champions and non-champions [1]. Exercising your way to longevity Exercise seems to be the best lifestyle factor […]

Researchers have published in Aging their findings that a senolytic compound accelerates wound healing in aged mice when it is administered before the wound occurs. A well-known laboratory senolytic While some senescent […]

In Aging Cell, researchers have described how to improve the hair growth potential of stem cells and organoids by reducing […]

With the deadline for submissions just around the corner, Jamie Justice, Executive Director of XPRIZE HealthSpan, explains to researchers still on the fence why they should contact her team now but also why […]

Crypto investor and founder Will Harborne will lead a new enterprise aimed at funding and supporting groundbreaking longevity technologies. From crypto to longevity The burgeoning field of longevity biotech is about […]
