The first human test of a rejuvenation method will begin “shortly”

A Boston startup, Life Biosciences, is set to conduct the first human trial of a rejuvenation method called "reprogramming" to treat eye disease. The technique involves resetting epigenetic controls in cells to restore a healthier state. The trial will involve injecting reprogramming genes into the eyes of patients with glaucoma, with the genes controlled by a genetic switch activated by an antibiotic. While the approach has shown promise in animals, there are concerns about potential risks, including cancer. The company's ultimate goal is to explore the potential for whole-body rejuvenation, but for now, the trial serves as a proof of concept for age reversal.

Three technologies that will shape biotech in 2026

MIT Technology Review has identified three key technologies that will shape biotech in 2026. The first is personalized gene editing, exemplified by the case of KJ Muldoon, who was successfully treated with a personalized gene therapy for a rare genetic disorder. The second technology involves genetic resurrection, with companies like Colossal Biosciences working on bringing back extinct species like the woolly mammoth and dire wolves through ancient DNA analysis and cloning. Lastly, embryo scoring has evolved to allow for the selection of embryos based on traits like height, eye color, and even IQ, raising ethical concerns around eugenics and the complexities of genetic traits.

Welcome to Kenya’s Great Carbon Valley: a bold new gamble to fight climate change

A startup called Octavia Carbon in Kenya's Great Rift Valley is testing a machine to remove carbon dioxide from the air using excess geothermal energy. The project aims to demonstrate the feasibility of carbon removal and potentially help combat climate change. While the technology shows promise, there are concerns about scalability, cost, and the impact on local communities. The initiative, part of the broader Great Carbon Valley project, seeks to attract DAC companies to the region and create economic opportunities while addressing climate challenges. Despite challenges and skepticism, proponents believe in the potential of DAC technology to make a significant impact on climate change mitigation.
