The Future of Aging and Regenerative Therapies
Addressing the fundamental causes of aging through factors like diet, exercise, sleep, stress management, and certain biomolecules can potentially increase lifespan to 90s and 100s for most individuals. However, reaching ages like 120, 150, or 180 might require regenerative therapies such as exosomes, peptides, stem cells, or osmophoresis, though the extent of their impact is uncertain. The discovery of amanocha factors shows promise in reprogramming cells to a younger state by manipulating transcription factors in the genome. Epigenetic reprogramming and intercepting breakthroughs in aging research could enable individuals to reverse biological aging. The concept of genetic rejuvenation is highlighted, emphasizing that age is determined by gene expression rather than the genetic code. The discourse on replacing body parts with advancements like 3D-printed organs indicates a potential trajectory towards enhanced longevity. The influx of private capital and technological advancements, including AI, are accelerating breakthroughs in the field of regenerative medicine, promising substantial changes in the future of aging and healthcare.
