We've talked a number of times on the show about Yamanaka factors.
These are these four proteins that were discovered by Shinya Yamanaka that we found later that when applied to cells, mammalian cells can actually reverse the age of those cells, reset the epigenetic clock.
reset the epigenome, which is the little markers on top of the DNA that turn genes on and off, back to a youthful state.
Extraordinary groundbreaking work that was done that won the Nobel Prize led to the foundation of several companies.
There's a Harvard scientist named David Sinclair.
He's a bit of a controversial character.
Do you guys know him?
I think you guys, one or two of you may have met him.
Chamath, you ever met him?
I followed him.
So Sinclair is kind of bemoaned a little bit by the scientific and academic community for being a little too overhypey, snake oil salesman, as some folks have claimed.
Because years ago, he sold a company to GSK saying resveratrol would reverse aging.
And, you know, he made $720 million on that.
It didn't end up working.
And he's promoted certain supplement companies and so on.
So I want to preface with that before I kind of underwrite what he's saying with this next thing.
But he's a co-founder of a company called Life Biosciences.
