VitaDAO becomes the FIRST DAO to kickstart a BIOTECH company, Matrix Bio. MatrixBio explores hyaluronic acid-based compounds, aiming to pioneer in cancer and aging treatments, utilizing insights from cancer-resistant naked mole rats This significant milestone comes from a community-wide vote and approval in favor of a collaboration with Vera Gorbunova, Ph.D., Co-Chair of the University of Rochester’s Aging Research Center. Congrats to the VitaDAO team that's involved with Matrix Bio and made it possible: Todd White Anthony Schwartz, PhD Eleanor Davies Read the entire article

Congratulations to Dr. Brad Stanfield, who achieved a major milestone of the Exercise & Rapamycin clinical trial co-funded by VitaDAO: the recruitment was completed! The data should come out by January 2025, after which they will be analyzed. The objective of the trial is to test the safety, in preparation of an efficacy trial to see if this intervention can help people stay strong as they age. More on the trial in this video: https://lnkd.in/e73QwNnB And even more in the recently published protocol: https://lnkd.in/ez6GaDqG
WE DID IT! I’m in tears…

If you’ve never experienced a longevity pop-up city, definitely check out https://zelar.city 📅 Coming up on Oct 5 - Nov 17 📍 Berlin
Let’s cut to the chase: aging is the enemy. People are suffering and dying from age-related diseases every single day, and we’re stuck in this slow-motion bureaucratic nightmare. The clock is ticking, and we’re running out of time. But here’s the kicker: aging can be solved. We’ve got the science, and the momentum is real. So why aren’t we moving faster? Here’s why: we’re trapped in a system that’s holding us back. The FDA. Government regulations. Centralized health systems. They are slow. They are bureaucratic. And they are failing us. The longer we rely on this broken system, the more lives we lose. But what happens when a group of people (highly aligned and committed to curing aging) decide they’re done playing by these rules? What happens when they create their own space, free from the bottlenecks, and build the future on their terms? That’s the real answer. It’s not simple, but it’s the only path forward. We need to create something entirely new. Think of it as a network society, a place where people who are not just dreaming about longer life, but actively working to make it happen, come together. No more waiting for approvals. No more waiting for someone else to act. We take control. What does that look like? Forget about centralized authorities slowing us down. We’re talking about a new state, a new society where the best minds work together. Scientists, innovators, entrepreneurs. They’re not just sitting in labs, they’re collaborating in real-time. They’re building solutions that can’t be born in the old system. Think about it. The Manhattan Project wasn’t bogged down by bureaucracy. It brought together the brightest minds to tackle a seemingly impossible problem, without roadblocks. What if we used that same approach to solve aging? What if we brought the same level of focus and resources to this? The breakthroughs would happen faster than any government agency could ever allow. And guess what? This isn’t some far-off fantasy. It’s starting now. We’re seeing the birth of pop-up cities like Zuzalu, Vitalia, and Zelar.city, where people come together to innovate and push the boundaries of longevity research. We’re pooling our resources, our intelligence, and our drive to make this future a reality. And the future won’t be decided by government approvals. It will be built by us, by people who know that aging is the real problem we must solve. Here’s the deal: if you’re serious about changing the future, you can’t just sit back and wait. You have to get involved. We’re not just talking about extending healthspan. This is about creating more time. More life. Ending suffering and death, and building a world where aging no longer defines our limits. The world we’re building is going to look different. It has to. And if you’re not part of it, you’re going to be left behind. Waiting around is so last century. At Zelar City, we’re building a future where aging is optional. Visit us: https://zelar.city

Congrats to Oisin Biotechnologies, a VitaDAO-backed #longevity #biotech company, who has just announced the publication of promising preclinical data for their gene therapy program!
Big news! We’re thrilled to announce the publication of Oisín’s preclinical data in Cell Press showcasing the potential of our follistatin gene therapy program to combat muscle loss and increase strength. The findings not only validate our decision to be early adopters of the FAST-PLV™ platform developed by Entos Pharmaceuticals, but also provide proof-of-principle as we advance our muscle building program. This milestone is an important step forward in our mission to develop safer and more effective therapies for an aging population.
