[DIYbio] Re: Gene therapy againt aging

I still have yet to see ANY actual evidence. There's only a press release at this point. I'll believe they did it when I see actual data. Actually, I'll believe it when an external group validate their work. And even then, I'll only believe what the data (presumably) shows. Which is that they were able to lengthen her telomeres. What that means in the long run is something that remains to be seen. We already went through this about 8 years ago with the Geron Corporation, who abruptly shuttered all their aging research with telomerase and never released the data on it.

I ask myself how exactly do they make the telomers longer and who is sure, there won´t be some terrible side effects?
