Ending Aging: Living Beyond 130 Years - Yuri Deigin

 

In this episode, Yuri discusses new scientific breakthroughs in Aging. Can Stem cells and Yamanaka factors be the key to stopping aging? Can we use Crisper technology to reverse the age of the cell and much more! 

 

"Shinya Yamanaka has shown that an adult cell can be 'reprogrammed' back to embryonic state by OSKM transcription factors. Later research has shown that cells also undergo considerable rejuvenation in the process of reprogramming."
