Progress, Potential, And Possibilities

🧠A new frontier in Alzheimer’s and neuroscience research? We just recorded a deep dive into one of the most intriguing areas in neurotechnology: photobiomodulation - using targeted red and near-infrared light to influence brain function. Early pilot studies in mild cognitive impairment are reporting signals of improved cognition and brain network activity. In this episode of @ProgressPotent1, we explore: - How light might influence mitochondrial function in neurons; - What early Alzheimer’s trials are actually showing; - Where this fits alongside drugs, biomarkers, and lifestyle interventions; - And what it will take to move from experimental signal to clinical standard; Episode guests: • Dr. Neda Rashidi-Ranjbar - @N_Rashidi (@UnityHealthTO) • Peter Adams (@VielightInc) Watch now - youtube.com/watch?v=dpCo8Z… #Alzheimers #Neuroscience #BrainHealth #MedicalInnovation #Longevity #Biotech @FINNPartners

@bryan_johnson Please pick up a copy of the bible of regenerative biology and read the section on the cross-age transplantation era to see why putting young stuff in an old body is never a path towards organismal rejuvenation - sciencedirect.com/book/monograph…

I just cloned myself...as a newborn With this clone, I can: + become my own blood boy + test therapies on the clone + grow organs for transplantation + develop new treatments + inject young cells This baby-bryan lives in a petri dish for now. This may be scary to some people…a dystopian future. But, for others, they will see it as the inevitable future of health. Clinical trials are already using this technology to restore dopamine neurons for Parkinson's, heart health and eyesight. The process > blood draw > my cells were extracted > yamanaka factors applied > reset epigenetic age > restoring them to an embryonic-like state Why? > these cells are now pluripotent > can be differentiated into hundreds of cell types > i.e. neurons, cardiomyocytes, retinal cells, etc > allowing me to rebuild my body > organ by organ > repairing lost eyesight or hearing > restoring kidney, liver or lung function > repairing skin damage > there’s no real limitation in imagining > my body will accept them bc they’re my cells > foreign cells are at risk of being rejected As cells age, they accumulate epigenetic errors compounding into dysfunction and disease. This technology gives us a path to reverse aging. I mentioned getting diagnosed with an incurable disease is one of the best things that has happened to me in a long time. It’s opened up a frontier of new paths to repair and strengthen the body. This is the first example.

🚀 What if the future of space launch doesn't begin on a launch pad? For decades, reaching orbit has meant one thing: massive rockets launching vertically from the ground. But a new generation of aerospace innovators is exploring another possibility: ✈️ Supersonic aircraft as reusable space infrastructure. In this episode of @ProgressPotent1, I sit down with Tim Franta, CEO of @StarfightersInc, to explore: • How a fleet of Mach 2+ F-104 Starfighters is being transformed for the modern aerospace economy; • Why air launch could expand access to space; • How aircraft platforms support hypersonic testing and advanced research; • Why "responsive space" may become increasingly important for national security; • The vision behind STARLAUNCH and the future of small satellite deployment; The next space revolution may not just be about building bigger rockets. It may be about creating smarter, more flexible, and more resilient pathways to orbit. 🚀✈️🌎 Watch now - youtube.com/watch?v=A5EUfx… #SpaceExploration #Aerospace #Innovation #Hypersonics #CommercialSpace #FutureTechnology @gatewayir

@theallinpod Young skin WITHOUT modifying the deeper structural changes that have occurred over a lifetime per the underlying retention ligaments and facial bones won't make a 70+ year old look 31....

Friedberg: New study shows enzyme reverses skin age from 70+ years to 31 Chamath: That’s a $2T market. Did Scientists Just Discover How to Reverse Skin Aging!? “CML is kind of the predominant molecule that gets formed in this extracellular matrix that's driving aging, and nothing breaks it down. So these scientists set out to try and create an enzyme, an enzyme is a protein that breaks something down, that can break down CML. And so these guys kind of went out and they took the target, which is CML, and tried to figure out, ‘Okay, how do we actually degrade CML, clear that extracellular matrix, and reverse aging?’ They started to test it on the proteins that we would find in our body, casein, collagen, retinal proteins, which are in your eye, hemoglobin, and they were able to get rid of 52 to 97% of the CML, just degrade it away. And then they found several sites where they were able to degrade over 90%. And then they took actual human skin from elderly patients that had donated their skin, and they put this enzyme onto that skin, and they were able to eliminate 55% of the CML on the skin, basically reverse the skin's age down to the age of a 31-year-old, this is from greater than 70-year-old patients, just by putting this enzyme on the skin. And so it's kind of a groundbreaking demonstration of combination of AlphaFold, what's called directed evolution, where you change the order of the DNA that changes the structure of the protein to test different proteins, do high throughput screening, and ultimately make a novel protein that doesn't exist in nature today that can do something pretty profound for human health.” Chamath: “It will be a trillion-dollar market. If you can create a cream…” Friedberg: “I mean, dude, if you could put this enzyme literally on your skin and have it absorb in…” Chamath: “Game over. That alone is $2 trillion.”

🚨 NEW EPISODE! What if recovering from cancer isn't just about eliminating tumors - but rebuilding the entire person? Most people know about chemotherapy, surgery, radiation, and immunotherapy. Far fewer have heard about Cancer Rehabilitation - a rapidly growing medical specialty that's transforming how patients prepare for treatment, manage side effects, and reclaim their lives afterward. In this inspiring episode of @ProgressPotent1, I sit down with Dr. Jessica Cheng, MD - one of the nation's few fellowship-trained cancer rehabilitation physicians at @cityofhope, and breast cancer survivor Sharyn Araki, whose remarkable journey demonstrates the power of resilience, rehabilitation, and exercise.

For decades, the fight against cancer has focused on attacking tumors directly. But what if the future of cancer treatment is about something fundamentally different? What if we could teach the immune system to recognize cancer - and turn the body's own defenses into a precision weapon? On this episode of @ProgressPotent1, I speak with Dr. William Williams, MD - President and CEO of @BriaCell Therapeutics, about the next frontier of cancer immunotherapy. Dr. Williams brings more than 35 years of experience spanning academia, pharmaceutical research, and biotechnology - including leadership roles at Incyte and GlaxoSmithKline where he helped advance multiple therapies from discovery toward clinical development. We discuss: 🧬 How cancer hides from the immune system; 🧬 Why immunotherapy has transformed oncology - but still faces major challenges; 🧬 The science behind Bria-IMT™, an off-the-shelf cellular immunotherapy approach; 🧬 The challenge of treating advanced solid tumors; 🧬 Whether personalized cancer vaccines could become a new pillar of cancer care; The future of oncology may not simply be about finding stronger drugs. It may be about empowering one of our most powerful biological systems - the immune system itself. #CancerResearch #Immunotherapy #Biotechnology #FutureOfMedicine #Oncology #PrecisionMedicine @CoreIR_

Menopause is often discussed as a health topic - but in workforce economics, it behaves more like a systems-level productivity variable. Recent estimates suggest that millions of working women experience symptoms that can affect sleep, cognition, energy, and performance during the exact career window when they are most likely to hold senior roles. Yet most of these effects don’t appear clearly in standard HR datasets - claims data, disability records, or even turnover statistics. In this episode of @ProgressPotent1, I speak with Karen Bishop of @AstellasUS about how organizations are beginning to rethink menopause not as a niche benefit category, but as part of broader workforce design: • Manager education and capability; • Benefits navigation and accessibility; • Retention of experienced talent; • The gap between lived experience and HR data visibility; The deeper question isn’t medical - it’s structural: Are today’s workforce analytics systems even designed to see this kind of productivity shift? Because if they aren’t, the cost is already being paid - just not in the places most organizations are measuring. #Menopause #WorkplaceWellbeing #HrLeadership #FutureOfWork #CorporateStrategy #WorkforceAnalytics #WomensHealth #TalentManagement #HealthcareEconomics #Productivity #LeadershipDevelopment #TotalRewards #OrganizationalDesign #GenderEquity #WorkplaceCulture @RealChemistry_
