Human Immortality: Will Harvard's genetic reset trials help us live forever?

Post by jocko6889 »

David Sinclair revealed that the genetic reset trials on humans will begin by 2023
 
As modern science advances at a quick pace, several transhumanists believe that human beings will emerge as a hybrid species in the future, and it may even help the species to achieve immortality. And now, a Harvard genetics expert has astonishingly claimed that human studies on 'genetic reset' could help human beings to live forever. 
 
Reversing the age to achieve immortality
 

Harvard professor of genetics David Sinclair revealed that the genetic reset trials will begin in 2023, and it could help humans to live beyond the current average lifespan. 
 
Sinclair claimed that initial tests on mice have proved that aging can be reversed in the brain and other organs. While talking at the Lex Fridman podcast, the genetic expert claimed that these tests could even provide vision to blind mice. 
 
"What we found is that there are embryonic genes that we can put into the adult animal to reset the age of tissues and it only takes four to eight weeks to work well. You can take a blind mouse that has lost its vision due to aging, neurons aren't working towards the brain, reset those neurons back to a younger age and now the mice can see again. What wasn't known was, can you partially take age back without creating a tumor or generating a stem cell in the eye, which would be a disaster, and the answer is yes," said Sinclair, Daily Star reports
 
Sinclair also added that similar tests will be carried out in humans by 2023, and it could help to reverse the cell aging process. "I'm so optimistic that we are going into human studies in less than two years from now," added Sinclair.

Well now.

I guess Dr. Sinclair is the Elon Musk of biology. I think everyone needs to start saving their pennies for future treatments.

It would be nice to see results from all of these proposed trials sooner than later.
It is all well and good to suggest the benefits of longevity and other trials and studies but it is all about the published results..

I think there are many, many variables that still have not been uncovered with regards to senoltytics, SIRT factors and other potential therapies. but i do think that we are moving faster in an order of magnitude over past efforts.

There must be an incredible amount of data to process.
