The MoL Report - Who Buys Longevity?

The longevity industry often speaks about one generic “longevity consumer.” In reality, demand is fragmented across distinct client groups, each with its own fears, aspirations, evidence standards, and willingness to pay. For anyone building, investing in, or advising the healthspan economy, segmentation is becoming a strategic necessity. This report provides a practical model for understanding who these clients are, what they seek, and how the market can serve them with greater precision.

A Global Rally for Life Extension

Editorial10 Apr 2026

On April 8, the streets of Madrid were not the scene of an ordinary protest. Citizens, scientists, entrepreneurs, and healthcare professionals gathered for the Longevity March, a global mobilization that connected Madrid simultaneously with major cities such as Brussels, London, Paris, and Berlin in Europe; Caracas, Mexico City, and San Francisco in the Americas; and Abu Dhabi and Tel Aviv in the Middle East, even during the current war in the region. The message was clear and urgent: aging must be treated as a global political and scientific priority.

Beyond the Hype: What Science Really Says About Your Gut Bacteria

Editorial09 Apr 2026

The gut microbiome has become a scientific and public fascination, with new studies and health claims emerging daily. While diet is often cited as the key factor shaping gut bacteria, research suggests a far more complex picture. With over 200 variables influencing an individual’s microbiome and only a fraction of its variability explained, the idea of a universally “healthy” gut remains elusive. Popular microbiome tests and interventions may not tell the whole story – especially when stool samples only offer a partial snapshot of the vast intestinal ecosystem. This article explores the intricate relationship between diet, microbiome diversity, and health, challenging common assumptions and highlighting the unanswered questions in this rapidly evolving field.

One-pot fabrication of high-strength Janus hydrogel for wet tissue hemostasis and intestinal/intrauterine anti-adhesion

A one-pot method creates a high-strength Janus hydrogel that gels in about 5 minutes and provides asymmetric wet-tissue adhesion, achieving rapid hemostasis and reduced postoperative adhesions in rat and pig models.

Why it matters The material combines fast gelation, strong mechanics, and directional adhesion, addressing a key gap for internal surgical adhesives and hemostats.
