# Can a Harvard Scientist Reverse Aging?

Harvard geneticist David Sinclair recently made a prediction in which humans may soon live twice as long. According to him, partial cellular reprogramming holds the key for altering our body physiology and increasing lifespan.

 Life Biosciences, a Boston startup which recently secured FDA approval to test an epigenetic reprogramming technique he says could reverse eye aging, is another company founded by He.

 

## Partial cellular reprogramming

 Harvard researchers have created a device that may reverse some of the physical effects of aging. It works by using a drug that causes cells to change their genetic code – helping people live longer, healthier lives.

 Professor Stephen Ramirez unveiled his new book at the Science Center, discussing how grief and loss shape our understanding of the universe. He led a panel of fellow scholars for this event; Professor Ramirez is a geochemist specializing in field geology, redox geochemistry, microbial physiology and experimental microbiology; former graduate student advisor; as well as numerous department committee chairing positions.

 

## The information theory of aging

 Sinclair contends that cells act like learning systems. Without exposure to perturbations-driven learning opportunities, cells could gradually forget how to repair themselves – leading to premature aging and loss of function.

Unfortunately, epigenomic information can be more volatile than genetic information and easily altered by environmental signals or cell damage.

 The information theory of aging hypothesizes that loss of intact epigenetic information drives biological aging; evidence showing this theory’s validity comes from research showing biological age can be reversed using epigenetic reprogramming techniques.

 

## Reversing aging in the eye

 Villeda’s research centers around understanding how to reverse the effects of aging in human brain using heterochronic parabiosis and blood plasma administration approaches. He has demonstrated how circulating factors can stimulate cellular rejuvenation in old brain tissue, thus decreasing neurodegeneration while also improving cognitive rejuvenation – potentially mitigating risk for Alzheimer’s disease and other degenerative disorders. Villeda’s discoveries have garnered immense praise, leading to him receiving the National Institutes of Health Director’s Independence Award.

 

## Reversing aging in the brain

 Scientists have successfully reversed aging processes in simple organisms; however, humans remain immune. Researchers continue their work in understanding how the aging process works and developing techniques to extend lifespan; for instance in one recent study researchers discovered GABA (B) blockers could reduce age-related cognitive impairments in rats which suggest [reverse aging](https://alsuprun.com/) might be possible in future [7]

 This research is truly innovative and could transform human medicine in the near future.
