The LongeCity Aging Biomarker Study (LABS) continues this year. Results from last year can be found here. (Member area)
Grant money has been allocated to provide free testing to LongeCity members. There is enough funding to test everyone who participated last year, or even more, depending upon what tests are purchased.
myDNAge has agreed to provide a discount of their DNA methylation test for LongeCity members participating in the project in 2019.
It is unclear whether or not the other two testing providers from last year will offer discounts again this year (Teloyears, Osiris Green).
If anyone has a suggestion as to a low-cost biomarker test we could add this year, please comment in this thread. Low cost would be less than $300.
_________________________________________________________
At a minimum, we will continue the project in the same manner as last year because there is great value in measuring the same cohort for several years. However, we are always looking to improve. Last year, participants posted their rejuvenation efforts and test results in the LongeCity forum. This open reporting (in the member area) is a key aspect of the project. Sharing data is helpful to the community at large. However, a more structured database of the project data would be ideal. There has been some discussion about creating a user friendly data entry and storage platform. If anyone has an idea in this regard, please comment here. Using free software would be ideal, but there is grant money available to create something specific for this project.
