Here is a step-by-step description of the process involving the Yamanaka factors, which is the reprogramming of adult cells into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Here’s a detailed breakdown: Step 1: Gather Adult Cells Step 2: Introduce Yamanaka Factors Step
What are the Yamanaka factors?
The Yamanaka factors refer to a group of genes that play a crucial role in a groundbreaking scientific discovery related to cellular reprogramming and stem cell research. These factors were discovered by Japanese scientist Shinya Yamanaka in 2006 and have
Age-related signs
Age-related signs can vary from person to person. They may appear at different rates, but here is a list of common age-related signs and changes that many individuals may experience as they grow older: It’s important to note that while
Can We Reprogram Our Cells for Age Reversal
Getting older means our bodies start to work a bit less well. Sometimes, this can lead to health problems like brain diseases, a big deal worldwide. To help with this, we need new and safe ways to make people feel
FOXO3
FOXO3, also known as forkhead box O3, is a gene that codes for a transcription factor protein called FOXO3a. FOXO3 significantly regulates various cellular processes related to aging, stress resistance, and longevity. This gene has gained attention in longevity research
What are the Longevity Genes
Longevity genes, often called “longevity-associated genes” or “longevity-related genes,” are specific genes associated with an increased likelihood of living longer or a reduced risk of age-related diseases. These genes play a role in various biological processes and pathways influencing aging
Chronological age vs. biological age
Chronological age is the number of years a person has been alive. In contrast, biological age refers to how old a person seems, based on several factors, like how your chromosomes have altered over time. In a study, the researchers
The Biology of Slowing & Reversing Aging | Huberman Lab Podcast 52
In this episode, Dr. Andrew Huberman is joined by Dr. David Sinclair, a tenured Professor of Genetics at Harvard Medical School and an expert researcher in longevity. Dr. Sinclair is also the author of Lifespan: Why We Age & Why
Food for Thought The Role of Nutrition in Healthy Aging
The way we eat throughout our lives influences the way we age. Science has demonstrated a well-balanced and varied diet full of nutritious foods like fruits and veggies, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and lean proteins; and limited in sugar, salt,
The Interplay Between Aging and Disease
Dr. Felipe Sierra discusses the concept of geroscience, which focuses on the relationship between aging and age-related diseases. He emphasizes the significant increase in human lifespan but also highlights the problem of increased health issues in older individuals. Traditional medicine
