Longevity AI has developed an operating system for proactive care that predicts and potentially prevents chronic disease. With AI, a professional dashboard, and a user app, its technology reportedly gives doctors and individual users the ability to obtain and act upon specific, personalized lifestyle interventions. The company has developed systems for hospitals, health funds, and other medical organizations that allow them to track and monitor the health of their patients in real time. Its platform makes risk predictions based on the latest scientific discoveries, evidence-based medicine, and personalized health information, allowing early diagnosis and intervention of major age-related diseases. The dashboard is claimed to provide insights and support doctors to understand the lifestyle changes that can have a positive impact on their patients. Medical professionals can send patients a holistic health report after every visit and gain insights into patient habits and preferences through integration with the Longevity AI app. The dashboard also enables doctors to monitor changes over time and better understand the biomarker evolution of their patients. Its longevity lifestyle app is claimed to provide real-time suggestions for the next best action tailored to the unique needs and preferences of customers and help them stay on track and make progress toward a healthier life. This encompasses a personalized scoring system that offers a quick overview of the user’s current health state.‍Key customers and partnerships In April 2023. Longevity AI partnered with KSM, the research and innovation arm of Maccabi Healthcare Services, Israel’s leading health maintenance organization, to “model the aging process and slow it down with tailored medical AI.” The partners intend to conduct joint research designed to help medical professionals proactively prevent chronic diseases. The research would use anonymized Big Data resources and initially focus on cardiovascular disease.

Mitrix Bio addresses mitochondrial dysfunction by developing bioreactor-grown mitochondria to be transplanted into the human body to regenerate organs, reverse age-related disease, and support other longevity therapies. Large-scale mitochondrial transfusion could potentially treat Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, AMD, glaucoma, infectious disease, and other age-related diseases, along with children's mitochondrial mutation diseases. The company believes that the same technique can be used in healing and reducing frailty for the aged, speeding healing of wounded soldiers, or combating aging itself. The company is developing technologies and infrastructure targeting to reverse mitochondrial mtDNA degeneration targeting parts of the body that most commonly experience mitochondrial dysfunction. The company has six programs at preclinical stages in its pipeline (as of October 2023). These programs are focused on immunology (infectious diseases), neurology (Alzheimer's/Parkinson’s), ophthalmology (AMD/glaucoma), dermatology (aking aging/wound healing), musculo-skeletal (sarcopenia, frailty), and organs (liver/kidney).

Turn.bio is a biotech company developing therapies based on epigenetic reprogramming and reverse cellular aging. The company develops mRNA medicines that induce the body to heal itself by instructing specific cells to fight disease or repair damaged tissue. This is focused on reprogramming the epigenome to restore capabilities that are often lost with age. Its proprietary ERA Platform can reportedly be used to revitalize different cells throughout the body. The company is exploring its applicability across multiple therapeutic areas, including dermatologic conditions, immunology, osteoarthritis, and ophthalmology. The platform is claimed to enable control of the time, duration, and dosage of transcription factors to optimize the mRNA cocktail for each indication. This reportedly allows control of reprogramming, moving the epigenome to a more youthful state step-by-step by carefully pulsing the cell with the transcription factors. The company claims to have discovered that the use of quiescent stem cells can significantly help to repair or replace specific types of damaged tissue. In these cases, the company reportedly deploys its Artificial Niche (AN) technology to protect the stem cells. AN technology combines stem-cell biology with biomolecular materials engineering and micro-fabrication technologies to generate novel cell-culture platforms that mimic crucial biochemical or structural aspects of the niche. turn.bio’s novel eTurna Platform can reportedly deliver a variety of cargoes requiring different routes of administration and be fine-tuned and targeted to specific tissue and cells. Funding and financials In July 2022, biotech company VitaDAO made a USD 1,000,000 investment into turn.bio. The investment was intended to fund turn.bio’s preclinical efficacy testing phase for mRNA therapeutics for dermatological and ophthalmological longevity research.

 AgeX Therapeutics is a biotech company engaged in the development and commercialization of novel therapeutics focused on aging.&nbsp;
 
 
 
 
 The company is building upon the foundation of its proprietary technologies, such as PureStem and induced Tissue Regeneration, to develop medicines targeting aging and related diseases. Through PureStem, the company claims to have the ability to generate pluripotent stem cell-derived young cells of any type for potential application in a range of degenerative diseases of aging. iTM is claimed to be the company's longevity platform intending to unlock cellular immortality and regenerative capacity to reverse age-related changes in the body.
 
 
 
 
 Its product pipeline includes two cell-based and two iTR-based product candidates in development: AGEX-BAT1 and AGEX-VASC1.
 
 
 AGEX-BAT1 is a cell therapy product candidate in the discovery stage of development utilizing PSC-derived brown adipocytes for the treatment of certain age-related metabolic disorders, such as type 2 (adult-onset) diabetes and obesity. AGEX-VASC1 is a cell-based therapy in the discovery stage of development, composed of young regenerative vascular-forming cells.&nbsp;
 
 
 
 
 The company was founded by leading gerontologist, bioentrepreneur, and Ph.D. holder Dr. Michael D. West,&nbsp; a highly-regarded pioneer in cellular aging, stem cell research, telomerase, and cloning.
 
 
 
 
 In August 2023, the company entered a merger agreement with Serina Therapeutics, a privately held, clinical-stage biotech company developing a pipeline of therapies for the treatment of Parkinson&rsquo;s disease and other neurological diseases. Under this, Serina merged with a wholly-owned subsidiary of AgeX therapeutics in an all-stock transaction. The combined company continues under the &ldquo;Serina Therapeutics&rdquo; name and focuses on advancing Serina&rsquo;s pipeline of small-molecule drug candidates targeting central nervous systems indications.
 
 
 
 
 Funding and financials
 
 
 
 
 The company recorded total revenue of USD 34 million in 2022, compared to USD 144 million in 2021 (77% decrease). This is due to absence of grant revenues in 2022, as opposed to 2021, where grant revenue was USD 104 million. Net loss reported for 2022 was USD 10.5 million, compared to the loss of USD 8.7 million recorded in the preceding year.

 UNITY Biotechnology develops therapeutics targeting age-related diseases, particularly focusing on therapy in ophthalmologic diseases, including diabetic macular edema and age-related neurologic conditions.
 
 
 
 
 Its therapeutics are intended to selectively eliminate or modulate senescent cells to slow down, stop, or even reverse age-related disease and restore aging or damaged tissue to a more functionally healthy state. The approach is expected to remedy diseases of aging, such as retinopathies, neurodegenerative disorders, fibrosis, and cancer.&nbsp;
 
 
 
 
 The company&rsquo;s lead drug candidate, UBX1325, is evaluated for the treatment of age-related diseases of the eye, including diabetic macular edema. The small molecule targets Bcl-xL, a protein that senescent cells rely on for survival. It is claimed that UBX1325 demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in mean best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) across 48 weeks compared to sham treatment in the Phase II BEHOLD study in patients with DME. A Phase IIb study (ASPIRE) was enrolling patients with DME to evaluate UBX1325 head-to-head against aflibercept.
 
 
 
 
 UNITY Biotechnology was also developing programs targeting the Tie2 signaling pathway for therapeutic benefit. Tie2 pathway activity declines with age and causes the loss of vascular barrier integrity and diseased blood vessel formation in the eye. The Tie2/VEGF bispecific molecule targets two pathways believed to be core to disease progression in DME and AMD. Another program directed at Tie2 activation is in preclinical studies for multiple indications.
 
 
 
 
 The company's neurology programs intend to explore new mechanisms for cognitive benefit, and the company licensed its &alpha;-Klotho program, UBX2089, to Jocasta Neuroscience for development and commercialization in cognitive dysfunction associated with neurological and psychiatric conditions.
