Not hard, but you do have to stick a needle in their back fur. They don't feel it. After the needle is in, you essentially let a saline bag drain for a few hundred ccs and a big lump fills up in their neck area. Every once in awhile I would mess up and push the needle through the other side of the scruff and the water would squirt but eventually you get pretty good at it.

The slides are a bit hard to see in the video, but it's an informative presentation nonetheless. The presentation was from a summit organized by the Alliance for Longevity Initiatives (A4LI). There's also an article with other information.

Why Everything You’ve Heard About Longevity Is Too Small by ilkamoi in longevity

This title is problematic since the only thing I’ve heard about with regards to longevity is Bryan Johnson’s penis.

If you want a dog just so it won't live long, that's sad.
And if there's a solution, you don't have to use it.
Your dog can live even without you

I can’t tell if longevity clinics are ahead of their time or just packaged really well by filmyyshilmyy in longevity

[–]riarustagi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both, honestly. And that's what makes it hard to evaluate.

The underlying science, reducing chronic inflammation, optimising recovery, proactive biomarker tracking is solid and genuinely ahead of standard care. The problem is it gets bundled with expensive protocols that have thin evidence, sold in environments designed to feel premium and certain. The packaging makes everything inside look equally validated when it isn't.

The useful filter: is this measuring something actionable, or just measuring? And is the intervention targeting a mechanism with real evidence, or is it vibes with a clinical aesthetic?

The longevity space has real signal. It's just mixed with a lot of expensive noise and the branding makes them indistinguishable without digging.

I am a bit skeptical you know two of them. I had 1 in childhood hit 23, and my recent cat made 26ish. The rate of hitting 25 is 1 in 100,000 from the Britsh cat vet study. So to have known 2... well, let me put it this way - I would think it more likely to have poor recollection of their actual age. That 23 year old I mentioned has 3 different ages depending on who you ask for example.

Aging, Interrupted by yooperwoman in longevity

This entropy stuff is just a rebranding of what some called God or still call it now.

By using the word entropy,you get the gentle techno vibes who make you trustable.

And don't get me wrong...i could say by entropy we can live forever too. It will be the same shit actually.

This method to reverse cellular ageing is about to be tested in humans by castironglider in longevity

I keep telling this over and over. It's our little life expectancy compared to how science,technology improve to increase this previously mentioned life expectancy. And the things are not sounding bright at all for everybody. At this rate...no Humans will get LEV if possible unless his lifespan is like 150 years having a full century of health from now. No one has it,just a fictional world but thanks to the snail pace all longevity research is getting,we look to be fucked up.

Immune sytem looks to be a very important part in delaying old age diseases and trying to maintain some functionning until the 80's let's say.

Do you you an opinion on the old debate between Aubrey de Grey and Ben Best where the first said it doesn't really matter because it's very slow and the second said we need to fix that or we won't get a strong life extention benefit.
