Cradle emerges with $48m to build reversible cryonics technology
Laura Deming-founded startup targets ‘human whole-body reversible cryopreservation’ after demonstrating the recovery of electrical activity in neural tissue.
Cryonics startup Cradle was unveiled this week, boasting $48 million in funding and a mission to develop and prove the feasibility of whole-body reversible cryopreservation. Co-founded by venture capitalist and longevity pioneer Laura Deming and chief scientist Hunter C Davis, the company is built on the belief that pausing and restarting biological functions on demand is a solvable problem.
“We’re building reversible cryo technologies,” said Deming in a post on X. “Think the hibernation pods you see in space movies for long-term travel – we want to build that.”
Cradle’s approach to cryopreservation focuses on pausing molecular motion through cooling, thus preventing tissue damage that typically occurs during freezing. This concept leverages technologies like those used in in vitro fertilization (IVF), where embryos can be stored at cryogenic temperatures for extended periods.
By adapting and scaling these principles, Cradle seeks to achieve cryopreservation of larger biological systems, including human organs and potentially whole bodies. The company’s web site states “We are optimistic that human whole-body reversible cryopreservation is solvable.”
Get to know more about Cradle, recovering neural electrical activity, ‘looking past cognitive biases’.

Age Reversal Unity filed a citizen petition to FDA demanding to classify “aging” as a “disease”.
FDA posted the citizen petition here for public comments:
https://www.regulations.gov/document/FDA-2024-P-2482-0001

I hope you go there and submit a comment supporting that aging should be classified as a disease by FDA.
So far, the citizen petition got 27 comments.

Thank you

Notcoin airdrop is bigger than ZkSync and LayerZero combined.

In the first 6 months after its public launch, Notcoin attracted more people to Web3 than any other project.

Without raising any funds, $NOT has been listed on Binance and reached a market cap of over $2.5 billion in just two weeks.

The $NOT airdrop distributed tokens to 11.5 million people with no locks or vesting. At the all-time high price, this equates to approximately $250 per user, for a total of $2.7 billion. Over 90% of the supply was distributed to the community for in-game mining, through launch pools and trading activities.

Notcoin had no investors, did not charge users in the game, and the airdrop was also free.
Anyone was able to earn it during the mining phase. What started as "probably nothing" became a community phenomenon.

Users claimed tokens:
• Notcoin: 11.5M
• ZKsync: 695K
• LayerZero: 1.28M

Total Airdrop value (ATH):
• Notcoin: $2,5B
• ZKsync: $954M
• LayerZero: $323M

The market is not the best today, but the key question is: which community do people choose to be a part of in the long run.

Since the dawn of human civilization, people have used plants not only as food, but also as medicine. For centuries, humans have eaten willow bark to relieve pain, but it wasn’t until the 1800s that scientists created a derivative of this substance – aspirin. According to the WHO, 40% of all medicines are of plant origin.

Enveda Biosciences studies plant chemistry to develop potential medicines. They painstakingly collect all the world’s digital information on how people in different cultures have used plants to treat pain and illness.

They found that geographically separated cultures from around the world were much more likely to use similar plants to treat similar illnesses and symptoms, even if they had never interacted with each other.

To date, the company’s database contains 38,000 medicinal plants associated with approximately 12,000 illnesses and symptoms. Enveda’s AI identifies plants with the highest likelihood of providing medicines, and team members collect the materials and test them in the lab. They are planning to start clinical trials of an eczema drug this year!

They recently announced a new round of investment and received $55 million Series B from various investors, one of which is Microsoft!

Scientists from the US National Cancer Institute have stated that taking multivitamins is almost useless.

They studied almost 400,000 Americans who took multivitamins daily for more than 20 years and came to the conclusion that it did not have a positive effect on their life expectancy.

On the contrary, the risk of death in this group was 4% higher than in those who did not take vitamins.

What do you think about it?

This is an example of interesting research outcomes that would be unvieled in the game & fun format as part of the tasks of the upcoming mini app on Telegram game Longevity Coin: Tap To Earn & Live Longer”.

Maria Branyas Morera (born 4 March 1907, San Francisco) is the current world's oldest living person since.

She’s the 9th oldest undisputed person in history.

She lives in northeastern Spain.

Maria is active on X and frequently posts updates on the platform. Her bio says, "I'm old, very old, but not an idiot."

She’s partipated in health studies to help scientists understand how her immune system and other functions have declined much slower than the average person.

She turned 117 in March but still has a ways to go to pass Jeanne Louise Calment with a documented lifespan of 122 years and 164 days.
