We will be able to rejuvenate our organs in place by gradually replacing aging cells that contain genetic errors and short telomeres with cells containing our own DNA but without errors and with extended telomeres.

In its European markets, for example, cosmetic company Juneva of Switzerland sells a product called DNA Skin Optimizer Fluid, which promises to help aging skin cells to renew and duplicate themselves by targeting the nuclei--Juneva says skin takes on a fresher, smoother appearance within days of use.
According to the testing performed to date at the Ohio State University's Center for Automotive Research (CAR) and the very low observed rate of aging, cells built with A123's Nanophosphate EXT are expected to be capable of retaining more than 90 percent of initial capacity after 2, 000 full charge-discharge cycles at 45 degrees Celsius.

Some of this territory was covered by Mr. Crowley and internist Henry S. Lodge in their previous two "Younger Next Year" books, which focused on exercise as an elixir of youth that can reverse aging processes inside cells and spawned a website, DVDs, workout gear and Aspen retreats.

The plan is to block telomerase, an enzyme that prevents the ends of DNA and seems to prevent cells from aging.
Longevity genes appear to slow down the aging process by making cells and tissues more stress-resistant, better able to withstand the inevitable environmental insults that accumulate over a lifetime from bad diet, inflammation, radiation, genetic mutations and toxic chemical by-products called free radicals.
We will routinely turn off genes that promote disease and aging such as the fat insulin receptor gene that tells the fat cells to hold onto excess fat.

However, U Autologous took this one step further with their advanced technology that uses the stem cells of customers to create a tailor-made anti-aging product.
Grapeseed's CEO Kristin Fraser Cotte says the company's claim of anti-aging is based on the fact that its products contain antioxidants, or substances that protect cells against unstable molecules called free radicals, which can damage cells.
