It suppresses our immune system. That could be very risky to do that. And unfortunately, too many people are advocating that. There's nicotinamide, NAD+, a supplement. There are no data to show that it improves healthy aging in people. There's this epigenetic reprogramming, very elegant. It could cause cancer. It isn't in people yet, but it's certainly a risk.
There's senolytic drugs that take out our senescent cells. They're indiscriminate. They could take out bad cells out of our body, these drugs that do that. There's plasmapheresis taking young people's plasma and infusing it into old people's plasma to promote healthy aging and better cognition. There are clinics doing that. There's no data to support it.

There's all kinds of infusions of kind of multivitamins, and there's just no data to support any of it. And it's really unfortunate because people that believe this stuff are the prey. Not only are they expensive, but they are posing significant risks. It could be cancer. It could be immunosuppression. These are not things you want to play around with.

Well, so one of the most elegant approaches, which caught a lot of interest in the biomedical community, was the idea of giving genes to an old animal, in this case a mouse, and now extend it to other species. And these are known as Yamanaka factors because they have the ability to reprogram the organism, the cells of an organism.

These genes don't come from a younger animal. They just are known to turn the clock backwards.

And so the whole idea was, okay, we're going to inject these four into the animal and and we're going to take an older animal and it's going to affect all their cells and they're going to get young. And it happened. Say, wow, this is amazing, right?

it's actually pretty deep. So it wasn't just that their gray hair went away, but also the fact that at the organ level, they had, for example, their glucose regulation turned back to normal. Many of their organs show young look rather than having all the things that you would associate with a very old organism. So it looks great.
