Cellular Level Rejuvenation - Coffee and Chat

Join us for coffee and a discussion of all things longevity.

Whether it’s the first time you’ve heard of rejuvenation, a scientist who can share your knowledge, or you have concerns over what life extension could mean to society – everyone is welcome!

Rough agenda (but it’s really not that formal):
10:30 arrival and catch up
11:00 focus on Cellular Level Rejuvenation – see below
11:30 general longevity discussions

Meet in the large seating area on the first floor – so grab a coffee from the entrance booth or buy a drink from the bar upstairs. There is a lift, though other Meetup groups have reported occasional problems with it, so if you need it then we suggest phoning ahead just to make sure it is working.

FOCUS TOPIC - Cellular Level Rejuvenation
Whether or not you’ve heard of Yamanaka factors, this will be a great opportunity to find out about them and their potential to truly reverse ageing at a cellular level, which would then be the foundation for rejuvenation of tissues, organs and the whole body.

Yamanaka factors are genes that trigger normal cells (e.g. skin, liver, heart) to revert to being pluripotent stem cells (which can divide and different types of cells). Various companies are looking to develop a variation of these factors into a rejuvenation therapy. One of these, Rejuvenate Bio, has recently published a paper showing how they doubled the remaining life expectancy of old mice. This was the equivalent of treating an 83-year-old human and increasing their life-expectancy from 91 to 99 – and reducing their frailty too.

Here is a quick summary of the research…

…but you don’t have to read it before the event as I’ll walk everyone through it.

I’ll be wearing and/or brandishing something with the Live Forever Club logo on it – so keep an eye out for that and head on over.
