Anti-ageing technology: current developments and food for thought

From the early records of history, humans have always been in search of the elixir of life, the source of immortality, or the philosopher's stone; we have long been fascinated with stories about vampires, beings that live forever, looking young forever. In just few years, however, scientists are turning what once was a fantasy to a reality. Looking (or even living) young forever might be a possibility thanks to researchers getting excitingly closer to crack the ageing code.

In 2022, various investors from the bay area in the United States, including Jeff Bezos himself, betted for rejuvenation and longevity investing an unprecedented amount of around $300 million dollars to crack the ageing code. The foundation of this company, Altos Labs, brought a lot of attention from investors around the world into the area of rejuvenation. Altos Labs recruited some of the most capable scientists in ageing from the world and placed them in the same room, with the vision of tackling ageing and delaying death as much as possible.
