Oisin Biotech Can Apply Seperate Gene Therapies to Build Muscle and Eliminate Fat

Oisin Biotechnologies has been able to safely apply gene therapies in humans to remove senescent cells. They were able to identify the bad cells and then applied a therapy to cause those cells to self-destruct. New Oisin Biotechnologies therapies will remove all visceral fat. Visceral fat is a type of body fat that lies deep …

A World With Cheap Aging Damage Reversal

What would a world with cheap aging damage reversal look like? This could happen with biotech or gene therapy injections that repair aging damage. Oisin Biotechnologies has been developing a highly precise, patent-pending, DNA-targeted intervention to clear these cells. There is also work by Rejuvenate Bio to create injectable combination gene therapy that could reverse …

New Gene Editing Tool for Millions of Edits

There is a new gene-editing tool called Retron Library Recombineering (RLR) that makes this task easier that has been developed by George Church and his team. RLR generates up to millions of mutations simultaneously, and “barcodes” mutant cells so that the entire pool can be screened at once, enabling massive amounts of data to be …

Re-activating Youth Boosting Genes to Reverse Human Aging By 2030

As you get older, key genes that maintain life are no longer activated. George Church is focused on turning youth-boosting genes back on. His company, Rejuvenate Bio, has begun clinical trials in old dogs. This will help us determine which ages of humans would best benefit. George believes they will be able to help people …

Gene Therapy Doubled Strength and Reduces Fat

Gene therapy helped build significant muscle mass quickly and reduced the severity of osteoarthritis in the mice, even though they didn’t exercise more. The therapy also staved off obesity, even when the mice ate an extremely high-fat diet. Science – Gene therapy for follistatin mitigates systemic metabolic inflammation and post-traumatic arthritis in high-fat diet–induced obesity …

Stem Cell Therapies are Closer to Not Needing Anti-Rejection Drugs

Universal stem cells that would not need anti-rejection drugs would be transformative for regenerative medicine. New research by AgeX and Juvenescence brings us much closer to Universal stem cells. They are getting success modifying the immune signaling molecule that protects the fetus from rejection during pregnancy. Nextbigfuture interviewed Greg Bailey and Nafees Malik. Gregory Bailey, …

High Resolution Imaging Screens Thousands of Genes in a Few Days

Researchers at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard and MIT have developed a new method that combines large-scale pooled genetic screens with image-based analysis of cellular behavior. The approach, called optical pooled screens, allows researchers to examine how genes affect complex cellular processes with spatial and temporal resolution, in ways that other pooled screens …
