I’m familiar with Helen Blau, her team is into everything: telomeres and aging, reversing cardiomyopathy, HIV, that team is really hardcore into prolonging and improving lives and wellness.

Heard.

But if even one of their interests panned out it would be paradigm changing for millions and they’re doing it to save your lives not get a updoot on hacker news. They’re all pretty anonymous and understated Imo but i am a great fan and i would love for it to be the “year of” anything they’re studying. I listed a few and I’m sure there’s dozens I’m unaware of.

I’ve been thinking that this stuff is all more closely related than we think and that as they go down one of these paths they’re finding all this other stuff along the way, it’s genuinely fascinating.

Heart disease and failure is one of the biggest ways we meet our ends right now. There’s so much interplay between aging processes, ceasing t-cell production, shortening telomeres , that ties in together with this and im glad they see a bigger picture than me having another 20 years , too winded to stand up and piss or strapped to a bed hooked to tubes and groaning!
