4 Pathways to Reverse Damage/Aging

  1. Use Telomerase activators: “Drugs that turn on our own telomerase (using the HTERT gene) and thereby reset gene expression.”
  2. Use Telomerase Protein
  3. “Use messenger RNA for telomerase (accomplished by Helen Blau’s group at Stanford)”
  4. “Deliver telomerase gene itself (either via liposomes or viral vectors) to the body’s cells”
    1. Several groups are doing this include Telocyte.  Telocyte uses adeno-associated viral delivery.
