Longevity gene therapy and AI — What is on the horizon?

https://enoumen.substack.com

Gene therapy holds promise for extending human lifespan and enhancing healthspan by targeting genes associated with aging processes. Longevity gene therapy, particularly interventions focusing on genes like TERT (telomerase reverse transcriptase), Klotho, and Myostatin, is at the forefront of experimental research. Companies such as Bioviva, Libella, and Minicircle are pioneering these interventions, albeit with varying degrees of transparency and scientific rigor.

• TERT: The TERT gene encodes for an enzyme essential in telomere maintenance, which is linked to cellular aging. Overexpression of TERT in model organisms has shown potential in lengthening telomeres, potentially delaying aging.
• Klotho: This gene plays a crucial role in regulating aging and lifespan. Klotho protein has been associated with multiple protective effects against age-related diseases.
• Myostatin: Known for its role in regulating muscle growth, inhibiting Myostatin can result in…
