Combating Aging’s Ravages – Advances in Minnesota and France – Video

February 21st, 2012 8:50 am



12-11-2011 21:49 Mr. Stolyarov provides a layman-friendly discussion of two recent major scientific discoveries in the war on senescence by Darren Baker and Jan van Deursen at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota and Jean-Marc Lemaitre at the Institute de Génomique Fonctionnelle (IGF) in France. The Baker/van Deursen study highlights the possibility of extending health by targeting senescent cells. The Lemaitre study shows the promising possibility of creating pluripotent stem cells from the cells of very old individuals - paving the way for future genetic engineering and revitalization of these individuals. Both advances are highly encouraging steps in understanding and reversing the ravages of aging and eventually greatly expanding the human lifespan.
