Reactivating youth boosting genes to reverse human aging by 2030
Key genes that are essential to life and health become inactive as you age. George Church is working to turn youth-boosting genes on again.
Rejuvenate Bio has started clinical trials on old dogs. We can then determine the best age group of humans to test. George believes that they can help those who are quite old and showing signs of decline. They’re looking to extend absolute lifespan. It will take many years before we can expect reliable results in extending human lifespan.
The results of three genes have been published. These genes have already reversed osteoarthritis and other conditions such as high-fat diabetes, kidney disease, heart damage and obesity. Cancer and neurodegenerative conditions will be added to the list soon.
