Inhibition of IL-11 signalling extends mammalian healthspan and lifespan- Nature Female Il11-deleted mice are protected from age-associated obesity, frailty, and metabolic decline. Male mice lives 22.5% longer and female mice 25% longer. The effects were similar to rapamycin but had less negative effects on liver and other organs when rapamycin is used for extended times. …
Neuralink will double the bandwidth of its devices with more accurate placement of the threads into the brain. The next generation device will have 3000 channels. The company’s first system, called Telepathy, centers around 64 threads that are inserted directly into the brain. The threads are thinner than a human hair and record neural signals …
Two years ago, Nextbigfuture highlighted Maia Biotechnology, which might have the most promising treatment for all cancers. They poison cells that express the telomerase enzyme which indicates cancerous activity. The drug treatment is called Thio. 90% of cancers express telomerase enzyme. Brian Wang interviewed Antiaging expert Aubrey de Grey. Aubrey told Nextbigfuture that his favorite …
BrainBridge, the world’s first concept for a head transplant system, which integrates advanced robotics and artificial intelligence to execute complete head and face transplantation procedures. This state-of-the-art system offers new hope to patients suffering from untreatable conditions such as stage-4 cancer, paralysis, and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

Extreme Ultraviolet lithography for computer chips have been critical to letting us efficiently get better than 14 nanometer computer chips. Deep ultraviolet lithography were used for 14 nanometer feature sizes. China chip companies do not have access to EUV lithography equipment and have pushed deep ultraviolet lithography to 7 nanometer feature sizes. Metalenses are 10,000 …
Low-protein diets promote health and longevity in diverse species. Restriction of the branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) leucine, isoleucine, and valine recapitulates many of these benefits in young C57BL/6J mice. Restriction of dietary isoleucine (IleR) is sufficient to promote metabolic health and is required for many benefits of a low-protein diet in C57BL/6J males. Here, we …

There is a large scale study using 1000 mice testing four major life extension therapies to see if there is an additive effect and how much additive effect there is. Preliminary data is show there can be longer lifespans with combined therapies. There have been different life extension therapies where each on there own can …
Here is the video of the previous week in Nextbigfuture highlight articles. There is coverage of Neuralink’s first human patient, global excess deaths continuing despite the covid pandemic ending, warming Mars by 10 degrees Celsius by 2050 using 14 SpaceX Starships to deliver equipment and wrinkled graphite has one dimensional room temperature superconductivity on the …
