Why are we reposting this recent call to action from our valued partner, The Alliance for Longevity Initiatives to support the The Dog Aging Project? Well, our GCLS mascot Jamie, a loving and energetic Labrador lady, has a strong personal interest in this project and the clinical trials by Loyal - a big woof to Ari Cohen, M.S., their director of drug development, for giving us a first introduction - which are both showing promise in extending dogs' lifespans. This would, for the first time, demonstrate healthy life extension in a beloved family member thanks to longevity science! Suddenly, the leap from your large dog to a human would seem much more feasible. Imagine the shift in perception this could cause when people realize healthy longevity is possible! Despite this potential, the National Institute on Aging (NIA) has decided to withdraw its funding from the Dog Aging Project, jeopardizing the future of this incredible and groundbreaking initiative. Therefore, even if you don't have a dog (yet!), please consider supporting the Dog Aging Project. 🐶 You can support The Dog Aging Project here: https://lnkd.in/eKF3vSpe #longevity #science #gcls #dogs
Earlier this year, despite its remarkable achievements, the National Institute on Aging (NIA) made the decision to withdraw its funding from the Dog Aging Project, jeopardizing the future of this incredible and groundbreaking initiative. Thankfully, we now have the opportunity to ensure that the vital work of the Dog Aging Project can continue. By donating to the Dog Aging Project, you directly contribute to groundbreaking research aimed at understanding and extending healthspan.
