Why rejuvenation biotech is so hot.

Biotech has been getting a lot of new interest lately. But one area that seems to be taking off is rejuvenation biotech. Why? What even is rejuvenation biotech? What companies are there, what's the potential and what challenges do they face? Well, i explore in this video.

The baby boomer bulge in our population is in the senior citizen ages. Many of us
that exercise regularly all these years (never stopped) are now looking at the newer supplements available.
My thinking exactly on future aging and health care. Always look forward to your podcasts.

Great video! It's so cool to see examples of startups and companies in the space.

very useful for college students planning what field they might go into!

Once again, a great and informative video

Good to read of some actual success in cellular rejuvenation. Can't wait to look 30 years younger 😉🖖

I'm currently striving to get my bachelors in biomedical sciecne and follow the rejuvenation science route, but first I gotta find funding for that :(

Hey! Im also just a kid with computer too, but Id love to work in biotech! Any idea what I could do with a BS in YouTube biotech? lol

[Billythekiddnz]

Thank you again with your inspirational research. Love everything about it. Thx 😊

If rejuvenation biotech is a man, I'll date him

I love your videos, please keep going

When cells are reset using OSKM, there are two things that need to happen. 1. reset the epigenome and 2. apply the epigenome template appropriate for the cell type. These must be two separate steps because in nature, we start from 1 cell.

Is embryogenesis the only place where we see the resetting of the epigenome? Is there ever a case in nature where the epigenome is reset without also losing cell identity? If natural always resets the epigenome and then later sets an epigenome to appropriate cell type, then likely humans will have to devise a way to do the same.

If we know how epigenome is reset & we know how the cell type specific epigenomic template is set... then we just need to figure out how to apply these sequentially within a cell.

There are some other types of Yamanaka like factors in there somewhere, yet to be discovered. 🤔

I heard Laura Deming was working on the cryopreservation of organs (and possibly of humans in the future) using helium persufflation. I am curious to hear your opinion of this work

That stock price chart is cherrypicked data. I didn't expect you to post cherrypicked data. The biotech sector is not a bit all over the place. The biotech sector has lost nearly all the gains shown in that graph. I think the case would have been strong enough without the misleading graph.

[furiousdoe]

There was just to much cash and wealth without purpose … investments in other sectors did not get any gain in short run. So I am sure this balloons will pop pretty soon too.

Do you know the offspring children were able to have offspring of their own?

I don't like biotechnology. I prefer technobiology.
