Targeted delivery of genome editors in vivo

🧬"Targeted delivery promises to considerably expand the therapeutic applicability of genome editing, moving closer to the ideal of a precise ‘magic bullet’ that safely and effectively treats diverse genetic disorders." 🩺

"But public policy has yet to catch up.. & longevity science is underappreciated, and underfunded

We exist to change that" 🧑‍⚕️⚕️

People often ask me the same question:

“What’s the single most promising anti-aging measure coming in the next decade?”

If you care about where longevity medicine is truly heading, this one’s worth a look.

@erictopol.bsky.social is right — we haven’t rigorously validated gerotherapeutics in humans, and even if we did, we’d need to show they also compress morbidity.

Some source for optimism: for some animal models, better healthspan can track increased longevity.

'They hold hands, they embrace, they kiss': The woman who changed our view of chimps - and human beings
In 1960, Jane Goodall began her groundbreaking field study by living among chimpanzees in Tanzania. In 1986, she told the BBC how similar chimps and humans really are.
