Altos Labs recruited a renowned biologist Pura Muñoz Cánoves to lead research on rejuvenating the human body.
Muñoz Cánoves managed to repair muscle tissue in old mice, focusing on self-cleaning cells and eliminating damaged ones.
Collaborates with Shinya Yamanaka, who discovered reprogramming adult cells into embryonic state, potentially extending lifespan & rejuvenating tissues in mice.
Muñoz Cánoves explains that Altos is aiming to prevent diseases associated with aging and delay their onset.
It is not a single pill to combat diseases, but rather to strengthen cells against stress, making them more resilient over time.
A long way off is actually reversing diseases associated with aging — turning back the clock through controlled reprogramming.
Altos to translate rejuvenation approaches from mice to humans, Muñoz Cánoves emphasizes the early stage of research and the need for safe cell reprogramming methods.
Understanding biology and incorporating natural strategies from species with long lifespans could achieve longer, healthier human lives, although the realization of a 140-year lifespan remains uncertain.
