We're doomed we're saved - The Biorevolution Podcast

Cell rejuvenation – Resetting the biological clock

Aging is a dynamic process characterized by the accumulation of cell damage, tissue, and organ degeneration, and diminished function. This process of decline appears to be an inevitable aspect of human existence. In recent years, however, advancements in scientific understanding of aging bring us closer to extending the human lifespan. With their guests, Prof. Jürgen Reess and Prof. Hartmut Geiger, founders of Moglingbio, Louise von Stechow and Andreas Horchler explore the complex science underlying the process of aging and the challenges faced by the budding longevity industry. They talk about the potential for rejuvenating aged cells in human tissues and the ethical considerations of extending the human lifespan.
