About

In this episode, we explore cutting-edge breakthroughs that aim to slow, halt, or even reverse aging. Discover how cellular reprogramming uses Yamanaka factors to hit "factory reset" on cells, senolytics clear out harmful “zombie” cells, and CRISPR edits our DNA with precision. Learn about NAD+ boosters, a potential energy drink for our cells, and how they’re already showing promise in human trials. But with these incredible advances come big questions: How close are we to a “youth pill,” and what are the risks and ethical challenges? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
