It was detailed that they were used “proteins that can convert an adult cell into a stem cell” and that in that way “have restored aged cells in mice to earlier versions of themselves”.
It was noted that in his team’s first trailer, released in late 2020, “old mice with poor eyesight and damaged retinas might suddenly see once morewith vision that sometimes rivaled that of their young.”
“It’s a permanent reset, as far as we know, and we think it may be a universal process that might be applied throughout the body to reset our age,” Sinclair said.
“If we reverse aging, these diseases should not occur. Today we have the technology to be able to reach 100 years and beyond, without worrying regarding having cancer at 70, heart disease at 80 and Alzheimer’s at 90,” Sinclair said in Life Itselfa health event presented in association with the chain CNN.
“This is the world that is coming. It is literally a question of when and for most of us it will happen in our lifetimes,” Sinclair said.
While modern medicine addresses the disease, it doesn’t address the underlying cause, “which for most diseases is aging itself,” Sinclair said.
“We know that when we reverse the age of an organ, like the brain of a mouse, the diseases of aging disappear. The memory returns; there is no more dementia,” he said.
