Does DHEA Reverse Aging?
As people age, levels of DHEA decline leading to symptoms like decreased muscle density and bone loss. Furthermore, this hormone may reduce cognitive function as well as increase risk of certain cancers. But taking DHEA supplements doesn’t appear to slow the aging process, says Marino; in fact, they could increase your risk for hormone-sensitive diseases. […]
Harvard Mice Reverse Aging
Mice are an ever-present presence at Harvard. They scurry across the halls, chew on wood and plastic objects, and pose electrical safety threats by chewing through wires that carry heat. But they also teach students about appreciating nature and being resilient when life presents unexpected obstacles, potentially helping us live longer and healthier lives. Epigenetics […]
Silicon Valley Reverse Aging Hackers Want to Turn Back the Clock
Bryan Johnson is a tech multimillionaire with one aim in mind: turning back his biological clock and returning his 45-year-old “brain, eyes, heart, lungs, kidneys, arteries, tendons muscles bladder penis rectum to 18 year-old condition”. His annual spend of $2 Million represents the extreme longevity movement led by tech gurus like Amazon’s Jeff Bezos and […]
Can We Ever Reverse Aging?
Scientists are actively investigating ways to halt, and even reverse, aging. One promising approach known as cellular reprogramming has already produced promising results in mice studies. Shinya Yamanaka won a Nobel Prize for discovering a combination of genes that can transform adult cells into stem cells that could potentially reverse aging in whole organisms, including […]
David Sinclair Shows How to Slow and Reverse Aging
David Sinclair, a Harvard geneticist, has demonstrated that one of the primary causes of aging are epigenetic changes that can be reset. His work supports the idea that increasing life span could be accomplished by slowing or even reversing the aging process. Sinclair’s lab uses NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide), a precursor that transforms into NAD+ (nicotinamide […]
