What is the regenerative ability of human beings?
Aubrey de Grey Ph.D. is Vice President for New Technology Discovery at AgeX Therapeutics. He discusses the fact that primitive organisms are better at regenerating than complex organisms like humans. Dr. de Grey says that in humans, our greatest regenerative ability is at the embryonic phase. During the Embryonic Fetal Transition our ability to regenerate plummets, and continues to decrease as we age. Dr. de Grey talks about the role that evolution plays and how scientists might be able \”revive our regenerative ability\”. This video is a part of an AgeX series on the research into human longevity and aging. For more information on Agex Therapeutics, please visit http://www.agexinc.com.
