Key takeaways:
– More than 55,000 dogs enrolled since 2020; a Precision Cohort of ~1,000 dogs gives annual biospecimens; data shared via the Broad's Terra.
– NIA renewed funding for five more years; a new cohort of ~1,000 of the oldest U.S. dogs will get 30x genomes; the Precision Cohort could grow to 3,000 and add transcriptome, proteome and lipidome with more support.
– Dogs with lower epigenetic age live longer; genes hypomethylated with age in dogs tend to rise in expression in aging humans.
– 25 metabolites (enriched for kidney markers) predict mortality in dogs and in the same direction in humans, found with 2.6 years of follow-up vs. 8–25 in human studies.
– GWAS linked a chromosome 25 SNP to kynurenic acid; coat &quot;furnishing&quot; genes (RSPO2, FGF5) also shift cystathionine, a cysteine precursor.
– TRIAD rapamycin trial: target 580 dogs, over half enrolled, one year of drug and three years of follow-up, neurology and cardiology arms; safety excellent, efficacy in ~4 years.
– Q&amp;A: U.S. dogs are mostly sterilized, so intact-dog studies may suit France or Germany; owners skew white, wealthy and educated; no experimental drugs in owners' pets without lab-dog safety data.

Key takeaways:
– Two strategies: replacement (young HSCs, microglia) and rejuvenation in place, aiming to add ~10 healthy years.
– An autophagy-restoring small molecule is in Phase 1 in Australia, with a Phase 2 in Alzheimer’s planned for 2027.
– A generative protein model produced engineered reprogramming transcription factors with improved performance; ~50% functional hit rate, with variants up to ~80% dissimilar from wild type.
– Proposed that the FDA run predictive models confidentially on undisclosed trials to build trust in AI predictions.

Key takeaways:
– Predicts clinical success and primary failure drivers from structure, target and disease alone.
– Retrospective AUC 0.90 on 391 small-molecule programs; prospective AUC 0.886 on 83 programs after the model was frozen in January 2025.
– Reported to outperform general LLMs by ≥29 points; identifies the primary failure reason in most cases (e.g., liver toxicity of sitaxentan).
– Performance similar in trials of patients over 60.

Key takeaways:
– Proteomics offers interpretable, organ-resolved signals that correlate strongly with age and disease risk.
– Clocks built on biologically defined protein subsets transfer between UK Biobank and All of Us; organ clocks best predict related outcomes (e.g., heart clock for cardiovascular mortality).
– Drug effects need careful interpretation: metformin raises clock age through GDF15 induction, a marker effect.
– Mendelian randomization separates drivers from markers: GDF15 is strongly linked to mortality but appears non-causal, while FES and FURIN show causal evidence.
– Clocks may serve as surrogate endpoints only after rigorous validation, since they can move without outcomes changing, and vice versa.

Key takeaways:
– Aging clocks have evolved from “mechanical watches” (early epigenetic clocks) to multi-omic foundation models such as Insilico’s Precious GPT series.
– Benchmark of 25,000 prompts across 18 frontier models: smaller fine-tuned models outperformed large LLMs on biological tasks.
– Future: large orchestrator models coordinating many specialized agents for continuous research.
– AI is validated only when it repeatedly yields successful drug candidates; ~$5M estimated to reach a developmental candidate.

Private pay longevity clinics promise to monitor all sorts of health indicators and provide guidance on how to live a longer, healthier life.

A couple of weeks ago, I tagged along with STAT commercial determinants of health report Sarah Todd as she tested out one of these new clinics at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York City. At Weill, Sarah underwent a battery of physical, written, and blood tests, performed frog jumps, ran down a hallway and wore a VO2 max mask that made her feel “like and elephant.” 

In this new STATus Report, I chat with Sarah about why hospitals are joining in on the longevity scene, why these programs have been facing some criticism, what she learned about her own health, and more.

*Adam Kroetsch | Clinical Trial Abundance: What it Means, Why We Need It, and How We Get There*
Abstract: In recent decades, drug discovery has been transformed by scientific advances, including AI. But increasingly, our ability to design drugs and generate hypotheses is outpacing our ability to test them. Clinical trials have become the critical bottleneck to medical advances. That's why we are advocating for clinical trial abundance: a focus on making clinical trials cheaper, faster, and more abundant - and more capable of generating useful clinical evidence.

In my talk, I'll discuss the barriers that hold back clinical trial  abundance, and how we can address them; including what FDA and policymakers can do. I'll discuss potential reforms to early-phase clinical trials, as well as ways to improve our clinical trial infrastructure and operations in the US. I'll put these proposals for reform in the context of two key developments: the rise of artificial intelligence, and the increasingly important role that China is playing in clinical trials. I'll also talk about drug regulation more broadly: depending on how we design our regulations, they can either hold back innovation or enable it.

Bio: Adam Kroetsch is a senior biotechnology fellow at the Institute for Progress (IFP), a non-partisan think tank focused on innovation policy.  For much of his career, Adam has focused on ways to improve our systems for generating and evaluating clinical evidence, including clinical trials and real-world data.  Prior to joining IFP, Adam served as a deputy office director at the FDA's Center for Drug Eva</video:description><video:player_loc>https://www.youtube.com/embed/vKH2eLxlaFI</video:player_loc><video:publication_date>2026-09-23T10:40:07.000Z</video:publication_date></video:video></url>

Dr. Kenyon recounts the revolutionary discovery that aging is not merely a process of &quot;wearing out,&quot; but is a genetically regulated biological program. In 1993, Cynthia’s pioneering discovery that a single-gene mutation could double the lifespan of C. elegans roundworms while preserving function sparked an intensive study of the molecular biology of aging. The conversation explores how these findings translate from worms to mammals, the potential of drugs like Ozempic and Acarbose to extend human healthspan, and Dr. Kenyon’s proposal for a &quot;World Healthspan Organization&quot; to fund large-scale clinical trials for off-patent, low-cost compounds that currently lack traditional industry incentives.


Cynthia Kenyon graduated valedictorian in chemistry and biochemistry from the University of Georgia in 1976 and received her PhD from MIT in 1981. She then did postdoctoral studies with Nobel laureate Sydney Brenner at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, UK. In 1986, she joined the University of California, San Francisco as a Professor of Biochemistry and Biophysics. Dr. Kenyon is a member of the US National Academy of Sciences, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the Institute of Medicine and she is a past president of the Genetics Society of America. She is now the Vice President of Aging Research at Calico.

Biohacking is a rapidly rising approach to extending health that combines science, lifestyle changes, smart tools, proactive diagnostics, and actionable biodata, with aims of &quot;optimizing&quot; cellular function and vitality. At its most accessible, biohacking approaches include tracking through wearables and biosensors and lifestyle interventions like diet and sleep. At its most extreme, other biohacking strategies include conducting self-experimentation outside of a lab setting or implanting technology to enhance physical abilities.

Proponents pose that biohacking can help advance personalized medicine to extend healthspan, while skeptics raise concerns of ethics, access, and scientific rigor. The upcoming free webinar is a highly scientific, evidence-based discussion on the topic with leading medical doctors and academics.

In this webinar moderated by AFAR board member Sergey Young, of the BOLD Longevity Growth Fund, experts and innovators featured are 2025 AFAR Cristofalo winner Daniel W Belsky, PhD; Mark Kotter, PhD; Helen Messier, PhD, MD, IFMCP; and AFAR President Thomas A. Rando, MD, PhD.
