Life Extension

We have analysed and looked for areas that fulfil the following criteria in the coming 3-10 years:
– strongly disruptive –
– high potential for profit –
– inevitable and unstoppable –
LIFE EXTENSION TECHNOLOGY is one such area.

TODAY: Researchers now believe that ageing should be seen as a disease that can be prevented or even cured. The old ageing theory of oxidation and free radicals has been replaced by knowledge about epigenomes and epigenetic regulators (such as sirtuins), telomeres, AMPK, mitochondrial dysfunction, and more. Some likely geroprotectors* have been identified, such as: metformin, resveratrol, and nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN).

* substances that protect against ageing

FUTURE: Continued research will make use of genome editing technologies such as CRISPR-CAS9 and more. This will intensify and drive life extension research and lead to some life prolongation technologies taking form. Beating the age-disease is a big challenge. A gradual prolongation of average lifespan is more likely then a big jump. In this process many new companies will grow and flourish and there will be plenty of potential customers.
