A Life Extension webinar featuring Dr. Michael Smith covering our latest nutritional supplement product innovations for 2012. Part 1 of this webinar focuses on coffee antioxidants for managing blood sugar spikes and magnesium threonate for brain health, memory, and cognition. Part 2 of this webinar focuses on inflammation, arthritis, and joint pain.

A major roadblock to successful organ bioengineering is the need for a functional vascular network within the engineered tissue. Here, we describe the fabrication of three-dimensional, naturally derived scaffolds with an intact vascular tree. Livers from various species were perfused with detergent to selectively remove the cellular components of the tissue while preserving the extracellular matrix components and the intact vascular network.

Humanity is on the cusp of an exciting longevity revolution. The first person to live to 150 years has probably already been born.

This video explains how genetic medicine, nanotechnology, bioprinting, cryonics and several other developments may in future be used to increase the human lifespan.

NOVA Can We Live ForeverNOVA scienceNOW delves into some pretty heady stuff to examine magic and the brain,artificial intelligence, mind control, and the nature of reality in an astonishing episode on how the brain works.

"Everyone has an interest in this", explains Sonia Arrison author of a new book 100 Plus: How the Coming Age of Longevity Will Change Everything, From Careers and Relationships to Family and Faith , "because everyone has an interest in living healthier longer."
Arrison sat down with reason.tv to talk about the technological innovations and regenerative medicine that will fuel the the next "longevity revolution". She explains what people need to expect and how regulatory reforms are needed to speed the innovations up so that "we will be able to repair ourselves ".

Immortality. Life Extension. The Fountain of Youth. Real science or simply wishful thinking? Is it hope or is it hype? Scientists from around the world are racing to answer one of humanity's chief questions: can we turn back the human clock? Hitch a ride on this controversial roller-coaster with charismatic gerontologist Michael Rose as he leads us to where the cutting-edge science in life extension is happening: biotechnology, genetic research, therapeutic cloning and stem-cell research – fields which have moved to the outer reaches of our wildest imagination.

SENS Foundation is a charity which works to develop, promote and ensure widespread access to rejuvenation biotechnologies which comprehensively address the disabilities and diseases of aging. Rejuvenation biotechnologies encompass the application of regenerative medicine - defined in its widest sense, to include the repair of living cells and extracellular material in situ - to the damage of aging.

A MEDITATION ON THE WILL TO BECOME IMMORTAL... a love letter to science and philosophy that explores the idea of engineered radical life extension and biological immortality featuring Ray Kurzweil among others...

"Do You Want To Live Forever?" is a Channel 4 Documentary following the revolutionary life-extension and immortality ideas of this somewhat eccentric scientist, Dr. Aubrey de Grey.

This show is all about the radical ideas of a Cambridge biomedical gerontologist called Aubrey de Grey who believes that, within the next 20-30 years, we could extend life indefinitely by addressing seven major factors in the aging process. He describes his work as Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence (SENS).
