    silencerbob got a reaction from MoonSpot in Partial cell reprogramming to cure aging   
    There's a new gene therapy technique called CRISPR, which uses a modified mechanism a virus uses to add itself to your genome within a living cell.  If someone has their genome sequenced when they are born then we have a complete "undegraded" code seuqnce to refer to when using CRISPR to add/delete/ modify the nucleotides of your telomeres.
     
    Studies have been done on worms and mice which have had their lifespans increased using this technique : https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23956466
     
    Synthetic DNA is a thing too.. small chromosomes are more easily synthesized than larger human ones.. not sure if an entire human chromosome has been synthesized yet since splicing lengths together is tricky to make stable, but will eventually be doable.

    I worked for an ISP many years ago and a customer called and asked how to plug in his ADSL modem to his PC. I told him the first thing to do is "unplug your phone cable and plug it into..."
    But that's all he heard... Coz he unplugged the phone he was calling from.
    I LOLed.

    i dont have bookface or witter. they are full of morons who don't know anything about anything. forums are a much nicer place where people are interested in the same things as you and the knowledge of the people on them is much higher.
