Life Biosciences, a Boston-based biotech company founded by Harvard professor David Sinclair, is testing a cellular reprogramming treatment to target aging.
The treatment aims to rejuvenate cells without altering their core function, potentially addressing age-related diseases such as Alzheimer's, Type 2 diabetes, and Parkinson's.
This potential breakthrough for longevity science also raises a host of ethical concerns, from overpopulation to “hyper-beautification.”
The company is set to become the first to conduct human clinical trials for this type of therapy.
