It has been known for some time that young blood plasma can confer beneficial effects on various organs in mice, although the mechanisms and implications remained unclear. A recent breakthrough experiment is attracting more attention to this area of research: rats treated with a plasma mixture known as E5 subsequently had their effective biological age measured by epigenetic clocks, involving 593 tissue samples. The result was a halving of the epigenetic ages of blood, heart, and liver tissue, and a lesser reduction (still statistically significant) in the epigenetic age of the hypothalamus. This has been heralded as the single most dramatic age-reversal experiment in mammals to date.

On Saturday 18th September, the lead designer of these experiments, Dr Harold Katcher, will join London Futurists to present his analysis of the findings, his own distinctive theories of aging, and his expectation for future research and applications. He will also be answering questions about his new book, "The Illusion of Knowledge: The paradigm shift in aging research that shows the way to human rejuvenation", https://www.amazon.co.uk/Illusion-Knowledge-paradigm-research-rejuvenation-ebook/dp/B09C7JNB64/

** Please note that, due to scheduling issues, this event is starting one hour later, that is at 5pm UK time, than most other London Futurists webinars. **
