"We are on the verge of a revolution in medicine: understanding, treating, and ultimately preventing the causes of degenerative aging. But medical revolutions only happen if we all stand up in support of funding and research. We did it for cancer. We're doing it for Alzheimer's. We can do it for aging - and create an era of longer, healthier lives!"

    Methuselah Mouse Prize Store Open

    The first iteration of the Methuselah Foundation CafePress store is open. It is primarily intended - in conjunction with the Methuselah Mouse Prize Outreach Kit - to provide materials that will be helpful to volunteers and supporters. Word of mouth is one of the best ways to grow an effort like the Methuselah Mouse Prize for anti-aging research. Developing improvements that make it easier for people to talk about the prize is time well spent.

    You may find one or two odds and ends - such as the Methuselah Mouse Prize poster - that you like even if you are not currently helping out at the Foundation.

    In related news, we're getting close to launching that Methuselah Foundation site redesign promised back in June. Kevin Perrott was doing all the heavy lifting and it's looking really nice in beta right now.

    Hi Reason. This one has the link to the old website. Would it be possible to update this to mprize.org, or create a new item until the old one sells out?

    All those domains end up in the same place - they're redirected to mprize.org. I'm of the opinion that it's more helpful to use the longer names in posters and so forth, but I'm open to being convinced otherwise.

    Methuselah Mouse Prize

    What a wonderful idea "Methuselah Mouse Prize" for stimulating research and development of anti-ageing theropies. I am 65years old and falling apart rapidly - better hurry up with this, I may not live to see the cure for ageing.

    My suggestion is: Let's all help Altheon get through the FDA hurdles so we can benefit from their Algebrium (ALT-711). How? I am buying some ALT stocks, and my skills are Validating and Documenting for FDA requirements, these skills could be used by Altheon, perhaps.

    Please: Some of you out there have any other suggestions? Let's hear from you? We can at least slow-down ageing now/today with ALT-711. And let's do what we can for the Mouse Prize.

    And hurry up! We are all getting older each day. I just survived a major heart attack. ALT-711 could have prevented that.
