As a biotech fellow I’ve seen how often the real constraints in longevity are the very boring ones, like tissue models that die too fast.
Replacement is 1/3 pillars of the Longevity Biotech Foundation. I believe that pillar has the best chance to lead human longevity. And it *needs* real human tissue data over meaningful durations.
Exciting to see Yuna & Outerbio here.
I'm excited to introduce @OuterBio and Yuna, the ex vivo human skin platform our team has been building for the past several years. Yuna keeps living, full-thickness human skin viable and observable for four weeks, with native tissue architecture preserved.
Innovation in skin health has been slow for decades, and part of the reason is that outside the body, human skin has only stayed usable for about a week. Yet key biological processes such as collagen rebuilding, inflammation resolution and damage accumulation take far longer than that. The field has been reading the opening days of a process that plays out over a month.
Yuna extends that window and pairs it with machine learning in a closed loop, so every experiment sharpens the next prediction.
Our bioRxiv preprint shows Yuna holding three distinct skin biologies across four weeks: psoriasis-like inflammation, senescence in aged donor tissue, and UVB stress response. In each case it returned the known answer when challenged with an established intervention.
Thank you to KJ Jang, Chris Hinojosa, Stan King, and the rest of the incredible Outer Bio team.

You got rugged by your biology.
But what if you didn't have to die with it?

We mapped boners to the molecule.
Ovaries? Still ✨vibes-based✨
But @athena_dao is building the data health care ghosted.
Ovarian longevity is the future of longevity.

Every night, a stranger whispers in my ear. He doesn’t know my name. I trust him anyway. Because belief, apparently, can extend your life.

GM! Again, excited & terrified to share my new post:
How do you press pause on a person? Not in theory. For real.
💥 We made ppl fight about identity
🐾 You (& your pet) can get cryo'd
I wrote about all of it. CASUAL!

Two things stood out at @Athena_DAO_ Demo Day:
✨THIS is what the DAO model can do at its best: backing early, ambitious research to drive *real* change in women’s health. (Impact should be every DAOs focus)
✨They step into the fragile stretch between promising ideas, research and products - and the moment traditional funding says yes.
Super excited to share demo teams + standouts on @thisbodyisbeta soon🧬✨
🚨 AthenaDAO’s DEMO DAY IS TODAY!
Discover @athena_DAO_’s decentralized clinical research projects in fertility, AI, reproductive longevity, and more.
Don’t miss out!
📆 Date: TODAY
⏰ Time: 9:00 AM PT / 12:00 PM ET / 6:00 PM CET

One year ago today, I thought I was dying.
Spoiler: I survived!
Today I launched "This Body Is Beta," a field guide biotech, broken systems, bodies, and the beautiful mess of staying alive.
If you’re curious abt longevity or ever loved someone mortal, this is for you. Feeling vulnerable. Here we go!
