In the news release, Human Longevity, Inc. Expands Pancreatic Cancer Prevention Commitment with $1 Million Pledge for Qualified Members, issued 17-Jun-2025 by Human Longevity, Inc. over PR Newswire, we are advised by the company that the media contact information should be added to the public distribution. The complete, corrected release follows:
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., June 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Human Longevity, Inc. (HLI), a global leader in precision medicine and proactive health, today announced an expansion of its $1 million pledge initiative—this time targeting late-stage pancreatic cancer. Building on the success of its recent prostate cancer commitment, HLI is advancing its mission to detect cancer earlier and improve outcomes for its members by offering financial and clinical support for those members diagnosed with late-stage pancreatic cancer while enrolled in its Executive Health and 100+ Longevity programs.
Driving Innovation in Early Detection
Through its Executive Health Program and 100+ Longevity Programs, Human Longevity has delivered care to over 10,000 members using a comprehensive platform that integrates whole genome sequencing, advanced imaging, and multiplex blood biomarker tracking.
These efforts have enabled the development of what HLI believes to be one of the most advanced early detection algorithms for pancreatic cancer available today, including a new proprietary DNA-based pancreatic cancer screening test.
In most cases, our multi-modal screening approach helps detect cancer at a stage when it is curable. But in the rare event that a member is diagnosed at a late stage, our $1 million pledge ensures they receive the most advanced care available—without the burden of financial barriers.
How the $1 Million Pledge Works
Eligible individuals must be active pledge participants in HLI's Executive Health Program or affiliated Longevity Programs for pancreatic cancer early screening. These programs include:
Whole genome sequencing
Whole-body MRI, with dedicated pancreatic imaging
Long-term blood biomarker analysis
A DNA-based pancreatic cancer screening blood test
Qualified members diagnosed with late-stage pancreatic cancer while under HLI's care will receive up to $1 million toward treatment, care coordination, and access to a network of top-tier oncology experts from leading medical institutions.
Transforming the Future of Pancreatic Cancer Care
Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest forms of cancer due to its lack of early symptoms and late detection. Human Longevity's initiative aims to shift this paradigm by detecting disease earlier—when it is most treatable. The pledge not only offers support to individuals but also accelerates advancements in cancer screening technology through continuous real-world data integration and machine learning.
About Human Longevity, Inc.

Dog's ashes among dozens to rocket into orbit this weekend

Bone voyage! A beloved dog named Franz will take his final leap this weekend — into Earth's orbit. The yellow labrador's ashes will be on board the inaugural Perseverance Flight from Texas-based Celestis Inc., which is scheduled to launch around 5:30 p.m. Sunday from Vandenberg Space Force Base in Santa Barbara, CA. 4 Franz was like a sibling to Elizabeth Moore before he died at age 13 in October 2020. Celestis, Inc Carrying a total of 166 titanium and aluminum capsules, each about a quarter to a half-inch in size and filled with DNA or cremated remains, the 23-foot-tall SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will take two trips around Earth's low orbit at a mind-boggling 17,000 mph. The space flight will last about three hours before the rocket — still carrying its priceless payload — re-enters the atmosphere and lands in the Pacific Ocean somewhere between Alaska and Hawaii, according to Celestis CEO and co-founder Charles Chafer. A recovery ship, which was already out at sea Friday in anticipation of the launch, 'will track the incoming rocket, hopefully get a visual on it, and then go pick it up out of the ocean,' Chafer explained. 4 The Texas-based company Celestis Inc.'s inaugural Perseverance Flight will take two trips around Earth's Lower Orbit after blastoff on Sunday. The capsules will first be transported to Germany, then, within two months, distributed back to the families, who each paid a whopping $3,500 to send their loved one to the stars. While the price to send Franz on the voyage was 'a lot more' than the pooch itself, his owner, Harvin Moore, said with a laugh, it was only fitting for the 'space-fanatic' Moore family to send the pup beyond the stratosphere. 'He was the best dog, just so soft and nice and loved hugs,' recalled Moore, 60, who lives in Dripping Springs, Texas, just outside Austin. 4 The Moore family can't wait to watch their beloved pooch go galactic. Celestis, Inc Franz, who was 13 when he died in October 2020, was more like a sibling than a pet to Moore's now 26-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, and son, Quinn, 21, he said. Now, the family can't wait to watch the good boy go galactic. 'The emotional power of being with a group of people who are celebrating the life of a loved one in this way … it's amazing. It's nothing we'll ever forget,' said Moore. 'It's just pure joy.' 4 The Perseverance Flight will carry a total of 166 titanium and aluminum capsules, ranging in size from a quarter to a half-inch, filled with DNA or cremated remains. Celestis, Inc 'Many people whose ashes and DNA are flying are people that always wanted to go to space in their lifetime but were never able to do that. It also helps families move from feelings of grief to joy,' Chafer said. The cremated remains of Wesley Dreyer — an aerospace engineer who helped investigate the cause of the Space Shuttle Challenger's shocking explosion after takeoff on Jan. 28, 1986 — will also be on board the Perseverance Flight, as well as DNA from a living, 3-year-old German boy.

How Local Economic Development Act funds help New Mexico businesses grow

NEW MEXICO (KRQE) – For years, state and city grant funding has been used to grow businesses in New Mexico with the goal of keeping jobs here and boosting the economy. One local business who has expanded over the years said it's all thanks to that local funding. Vitality Works, located in Albuquerque, makes dietary and herbal supplements. 'We are the guys that really make the stuff for over 600 brands in the United States. Our name is on nothing, but we make other people's goods and fully package turnkey operations,' said Vitality Works CEO/Founder Mitch Coven. Coven said since he started his company in the 1980's, it's far surpassed his goals. He said the growth wouldn't have been possible without money from grants and tax credits. 'Everything that the city, county, state has made available to us has helped foster our growth even faster,' added Coven. One of the grants he's received is through the Local Economic Development Act, or LEDA which was signed into New Mexico law in the early 90's to incentivize and support growing businesses. 'We want the public sector to be an enabling partner that allows those entrepreneurs and those companies to be successful,' said Director of Economic Development for the City of Albuquerque Max Gruner. Vitality Works is just one company that's benefited from LEDA in the metro. In just the past eight years, the city of Albuquerque has committed more than $13.7 million in LEDA funding to help grow and retain 15 businesses. Those who qualify are expected to show how their company will expand, create jobs and have a local economic impact. 'We are really trying to use the mechanism of these incentives to create generational wealth for our families in Albuquerque,' said Gruner. Vitality Works produces 50,000 bottles of supplements and more a day. Coven believes his company is a way to give back to New Mexico as he employs more than 300 people and he sources some herbs in the state. His company is receiving it's second LEDA funding, which he hopes to use to expand the company even further by adding another 30,000 square feet to his facility. 'Our plans are to keep capturing the growth. We have to keep expanding,' said Coven. State LEDA funds are appropriated by the legislature, while participating cities also have their own LEDA funds, which are controlled by city councils. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
