Title: Reverse ageing by boosting cells' energy factories
Post by: josephpalazzo on September 28, 2013, 10:05:32 AM
There's hope for old folks like myself,  :wink:

QuoteAged mice given modified TFAM showed improvements in memory and exercise performance compared with untreated mice. "It was like an 80-year-old recovering the function of a 30-year-old," says Rafal Smigrodzki, also at Gencia, who presented the results at the Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence conference in Cambridge this month.

It's a damn good start, but there's still the issue of DNA corruption. Solving that is going to require some serious biotech advancements.

This will be available to me 3 minutes and 7 seconds after I am dead.
