Talks at Google・2 minutes read
Aging as a medical condition is discussed by David Sinclair, emphasizing the importance of changing how it's viewed in healthcare and introducing the information theory of aging. Loss of epigenetic information leads to cell changes and aging, with potential for reversal through factors like NMN and TET genes.
Insights
- Aging is now recognized by the World Health Organization as a medical condition, challenging the traditional view of it as a natural process impacting over half the population.
- Understanding and preserving epigenetic information, crucial for maintaining cellular identity and function, offers potential for delaying diseases and living healthier lives, as demonstrated through experiments on age reversal in mice and the use of molecules like NMN and metformin to activate longevity pathways.
