The pursuit of longer, healthier lives has led to exciting new anti-aging research. At the forefront is scientist David Sinclair, who believes we can harness cells’ natural ability to reverse the aging process.
Sinclair’s work focuses on cellular reprogramming – essentially turning back the clock in our cells. As we age, our cells enter a senescent state, accumulating damage and stopping division. Sinclair discovered that by activating certain genes, senescent cells can be reverted to a youthful, stem cell-like state.
This “backward aging” protocol has achieved remarkable results in animal studies. Mice treated with cellular reprogramming therapy showed improved organ function, hair regrowth, and fitness. Human trials are now planned to test the safety and efficacy of this approach.
Sinclair takes cellular reprogramming a step further with his “Yamanaka factors.” Named for Nobel prize winner Shinya Yamanaka, these four genes can convert mature cells into induced pluripotent stem cells. Delivering Yamanaka factors to targeted tissues may someday allow our bodies to regenerate and repair age-related damage.
