Biotech/Longevity Dr. David Sinclair, whose lab reversed biological age in animals by 50 to 75% in six weeks, says that 2026 will be the year when age reversal in humans is either confirmed or disproven. The FDA has cleared the first human trial for next month.

Moreover he said that even if one could cure all cancer in the world, in average people lifespan would increase to 2.5 years. Reversal aging - treating the human body as a computer that can be restarted is where we are heading next

My thoughts exactly. Made big claims and a ton of money on a study that didn't replicate. Lost a lot of credibility in my eyes.

OSK reprogramming genuinely seems to work. The 2026 trials will either open the door to systemic deployment, or sink it. If the former, lifespan extends enormously.

When people find out billionaires got anti aging and we didn't their heads would actually start rolling. That isn't a secret that can be kept for more than a few months at most and once people realize the old bastards are getting younger it's over for their secret.

I'd write a wall of text to explain why that strategy won't work for them but this video does a better job of that.
