We converted the calculations in Morgan Levine and Steve Horvath’s famous research paper on phenotypic age into a free biological age calculator.
It’s a great (cheap) alternative to $400 epigenetic age tests and means you can test more frequently to see if longevity interventions are actually…
This free biological age calculator is based on a pioneering paper by longevity experts Dr. Morgan Levine and Dr. Steve Horvath.
The paper, titled “An epigenetic biomarker of aging for lifespan and healthspan,” used some super-advanced machine learning techniques to find blood biomarkers which are significantly correlated with aging-related health outcomes, including mortality.
Essentially, they are able to use the results from this test to predict how near (or far away) you are from death.
Basically bio electricity once controlled could offer eternal life for humans because we could simply use the electricity to have longer if not indefinite lifespans that don’t require as much food for energy.
In the near future, birth defects, traumatic injuries, limb loss and perhaps even cancer could be cured through bioelectricity—electrical signals that communicate to our cells how to rebuild themselves. This innovative idea has been tested on flatworms and frogs by biologist Michael Levin, whose research investigates how bioelectricity provides the blueprint for how our bodies are built—and how it could be the future of regenerative medicine.
Levin is a professor of biology at Tufts University and director of the Tufts Center for Regenerative and Developmental Biology.

Summary: Scientists have reprogrammed mouse cells into pluripotent stem cells using a gene from choanoflagellates, single-celled organisms related to animals. This breakthrough demonstrates that key genes driving stem cell formation existed in unicellular ancestors nearly a billion years ago.
The resulting stem cells were used to create a chimeric mouse, showcasing how ancient genetic tools can integrate with modern mammalian biology. This discovery redefines the evolutionary origins of stem cells and may inform regenerative medicine advancements.
Step Into the Future with The Cybernetic Singularity: The Syntellect Emergence 🎧 The groundbreaking third volume of The Cybernetic Theory of Mind series by Alex M Vikoulov is now available as an audiobook!
Ecstadelic Media Group releases a new non-fiction audiobook The Cybernetic Singularity: The Syntellect Emergence, in addition to a previously published Kindle eBook, part of The Cybernetic Theory of Mind series. Written by Alex M. Vikoulov; Narrated by Virtual Voice; Foreword by Antonin Tuynman, PhD; Format: Audible audiobook (Press Release, Burlingame, CA, USA, November 16, 2024 09.23 AM PST)
The Cybernetic Singularity: The Syntellect Emergence is a visionary exploration of humanity’s impending transition into a post-biological state of existence, where artificial intelligence, advanced cybernetics, and collective intelligence converge to form a unified Global Mind. As the third installment in The Cybernetic Theory of Mind series, this book delves into the transformative potential of AI and the emergence of hyperconnected “infomorphs” — substrate-independent minds transcending biological limitations. It examines the profound philosophical, technological, and existential implications of this evolutionary leap, which may redefine what it means to be human. The book also introduces key concepts like Cybernetic Immortality and Experiential Realism, suggesting how we might engineer a future of infinite creativity and bliss.
With the Syntellect Hypothesis as its foundation, The Cybernetic Singularity presents a roadmap to the ultimate phase transition of civilization — the awakening of a universal consciousness network capable of synthesizing knowledge, experience, and purpose at unimaginable scales. From the rise of transhumanism to the development of a planetary superorganism, the narrative connects cutting-edge scientific insights with metaphysical musings on the nature of reality. Opening with Norbert Wiener’s quote, “The world of the future will be an even more demanding struggle against the limitations of our intelligence,” the book invites readers to contemplate their role in this grand cosmic drama. Whether you are a technophile, philosopher, or futurist, this volume is an essential guide to understanding and embracing the dawn of the Syntellect Emergence.
OneSkin, founded by Brazilian PhD scientists in 2016, reports that it has now closed a Series A funding round led by Selva Ventures, together with contributions from PLUS Capital, Unilever Ventures, Able Partners, SOSV, and Meta Planet. This brings the accumulated capital of the firm to 20 million US dollars.
The goal of the OneSkin team is the research and development of topical treatments that promote skin longevity. The brand’s efforts have led to the development of the peptide OS-01, which is claimed to reverse the aging of the skin by preventing the accumulation of “old”, non-dividing senescent cells, as well as shield skin cells from DNA damage. OS-01 is already available on the market in several different products offered by the company.
Senescent cells have been the focus of a significant amount of biogerontological research in recent years. Scientists claim that every cell in the human body has a limited capacity for division, governed by genetic factors. When the cells reach the point in their lifecycle where their ability to divide is permanently halted, they remain in a minimally-functional state in the tissue types they inhabit.
Summary: Adolescents are known for making less optimal, noisy decisions, but a recent study reveals that these tendencies decrease with age and are linked to improvements in complex decision-making skills. Researchers found that decision noise, or variability in choices, mediates age-related gains in goal-directed behaviors and adaptability.
Adolescents may rely on less efficient strategies due to limited cognitive resources, which makes them more susceptible to emotional and motivational influences. These findings shed light on the computational mechanisms behind developmental shifts in decision-making and open avenues for understanding neurodevelopmental disorders.
