The first clinical attempt to make human beings biologically younger is no longer a thought experiment. A small gene therapy ...

The capacity of an organism to regenerate depends on cell dedifferentiation followed by proliferation. Mammals, in general, have limited regenerative capacity. Now, a team of researchers at the Salk ...

Age-related memory decline and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's are often thought of as irreversible. But the brain is not static; neurons continually adjust the strength of their ...

Scientists reverse eye cell aging with ER-100 gene therapy that reprograms retinal neurons to younger states, offering hope ...

"Aging has a relatively simple explanation and is apparently reversible." The post Scientists Testing Controversial Human Rejuvenation Compound Called ER-100 appeared first on Futurism.

It is well known that adding a mixture of four reprogramming molecules (Oct4, Sox2, Klf4 and c-Myc) also known as “Yamanaka factors” to cells can reset epigenetic marks to their original patterns.

On 19 January, co-founders Rick Klausner and Hans Bishop publicly launched an aging research initiative called Altos Labs, with $3 billion in initial financing from backers including tech investor ...

A novel gene therapy that leads to cellular rejuvenation could restore vision after non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) and glaucoma. The technique is based on a reprogramming ...

Billions of dollars are pouring into longevity startups as a growing body of research shows that aging might not be as inevitable as we assumed. Now, a startup claims to have reached a major milestone ...
