Has Harvard discovered the elusive 'Fountain of Youth" pill? A new chemical cocktail that reverses aging
Harvard researchers have made a groundbreaking discovery that could revolutionize the field of anti-aging. According to the New York Post, a team of scientists at Harvard claim to have found a chemical cocktail that has the potential to reverse the aging process, bringing us one step closer to the elusive «Fountain of Youth» pill.David Sinclair, a Harvard researcher, took to Twitter to share the findings, which were published in the esteemed medical journal Aging.
In his posts, Sinclair explained that they had previously demonstrated age reversal using gene therapy. Now, they have shown that a similar effect is achievable through chemical cocktails, offering hope for affordable whole-body rejuvenation.
«We've previously shown age reversal is possible using gene therapy to turn on embryonic genes,» Sinclair tweeted. «Now we show it's possible with chemical cocktails, a step towards affordable whole-body rejuvenation.» The chemical cocktails developed by the researchers consist of a combination of five to seven agents, some of which are already prescribed for the treatment of various physical and mental disorders.
Among these agents are Valproic acid, Tranylcypromine, and Pramipexole, which are commonly used for seizures, depression, and Parkinson's disease, respectively. Led by David Sinclair, a genetics professor and renowned author of the book «Lifespan,» the team at Harvard Medical School devoted over three years to meticulously identifying specific molecules that could synergistically reverse cellular aging and rejuvenate human cells.
Through rigorous experiments conducted on mice and monkeys, they successfully pinpointed six chemical cocktails that visibly reversed signs of aging in less than a week. While the
