How space is accelerating Aging Research
Three Longevity companies are expanding into space to boost visibility.
What is Space-H Accelerator
The Space-H Accelerator is a program designed to address the unique health challenges astronauts face in space, where low gravity and high radiation environments cause accelerated aging and other health issues. To tackle these challenges, Space-H selects innovative companies in the medical field to develop solutions that can enhance cellular health, improve immune responses, and support tissue regeneration. This year, three of the chosen companies are focused specifically on longevity.
Why This Matters
Longevity companies often struggle to gain the recognition and credibility needed for them to thrive. This lack of visibility not only limits public awareness but also creates challenges in securing support for research and development. By being part of the Space-H Accelerator, these companies gain visibility and credibility. This recognition can lead to enhanced opportunities, such as easier access to partnerships, research support, and potentially facilitated pathways to grant funding. While they may already be receiving grants, we’ll be confirming specifics in our interview with the companies next week to provide more insights.
Companies highlights
LinkGevity: Utilizes advanced AI technology to extend healthspan and improve quality of life through innovative drug discovery. (linkgevity.com)
Mitrix Bio: Develops bioreactor-grown mitochondria, termed “Mitlets,” as a novel regenerative medicine to address age-related diseases by enhancing cellular energy. (mitrix.bio)
NaNotics: Launches a new class of drugs designed to neutralize soluble targets in the blood, aiming to treat age-related diseases by removing harmful factors. (nanotics.com)
With support from Space-H, these companies are set to make big advances in longevity and space health. We’ll keep you updated on their progress, including insights from our interviews with them next week.
