David Sinclair — ONE PILL

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, ethics, life extension, robotics/AI

A VERY interesting 6 minutes. People tests? One pill? Next Gen? Hurry, I’m 52! There is an ongoing idea that it will take several kinds of treatments, but many years ago I recall Cynthia Kenyan talking about how some research shows it might come down to a pill.


David Sinclair shares the latest incredible research they are doing.

US scientists discover chemical to reverse aging

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, chemistry, life extension

In a groundbreaking study, researchers have unlocked a new frontier in the fight against aging and age-related diseases. The study, conducted by a team of scientists at Harvard Medical School, has published the first chemical approach to reprogram cells to a younger state. Previously, this was only achievable using a powerful gene therapy.

The team’s findings build upon the discovery that the expression of specific genes, called Yamanaka factors, could convert adult cells into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). This Nobel Prize-winning discovery raised the question of whether it might be possible to reverse cellular aging without causing cells to become too young and turn cancerous.

SRF experiment.com campaign sets sights on mitochondrial DNA

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, life extension

Following the success of its first experiment.com campaign, which was raising money to identify therapeutics that reduce senescent cell accumulation and extend healthspan, the SENS Research Foundation has announced the next funding project.

Last month, we covered the fundraiser for Dr Abdelhadi Rebbaa’s research into the discovery and testing of novel senolytic molecules, which would back into his discovery of potential anti-senescence therapeutics. SRF has confirmed that this campaign is now fully funded.

Now SENS Research Foundation has launched its second experiment.com campaign for Dr Amutha Boominathan’s project Finding a cure for mitochondrial DNA diseases through COX2 variations to restore cell function, hoping to raise $8,000 over 45 days, with the campaign coming to an end next month, on 30th August. Dr Boominathan is head of the MitoSENS program at SENS Research Foundation.

Harvard scientists claim to have discovered the “Fountain of Youth” that can be put into a pill

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, chemistry, Elon Musk, life extension

Scientists at Harvard University claim to have come excitingly close to finding the proverbial Fountain of Youth. According to a recent publication in the scientific journal Aging, the team has identified six chemical concoctions that have the ability to reverse the aging process in both human and mice skin cells.

Dr. David Sinclair, a molecular biologist at Harvard Medical School and co-author of the study, has hailed this as a “breakthrough” and sees it as a step towards “affordable whole-body rejuvenation.”

Dr. Sinclair has even suggested that human trials could commence within the next year. This prediction has caught the attention of prominent figures, such as tech mogul Elon Musk. He responded to the news with curiosity asking, “Ok, so what exactly is it?”

Chemical compounds reverse cell aging, study finds

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, chemistry, engineering, life extension

(NewsNation) — A new study claims to have found chemical compounds that can actually reverse the effects of aging, though so far results have been limited to animal studies.

Harvard Medical School, University of Maine and Massachusetts Institute of Technology scientists collaborated on the study, published in the journal Aging. Researchers found it was possible to reverse cellular engineering rather than simply delay it.

They used six chemical compounds to reverse aging in cells, returning them to a youthful state without having them revert too far and become cancerous.
