Hi Karin, great article. Do you have any thoughts on the work of David Sinclair and his team? I've been following his cellular age reversal research for a couple years, and it looks like a specific application for an eye disease will be performed on humans later this year.

Thank you for sharing! I was not aware of this particular work but I really like how they emphasize the importance of extending "health-span" rather than "lifespan" with these approaches. One step at a time..

Nicely presented. I look forward to more. A friend at the summit of academic gerontology for 50years and former director of an Alheimer center calls the hype Phooey. Too little appreciation of the evolution of aging which if understood should bring more sobriety to frothy speculation about pushing back the upper limits of longevity.
