Epigenetic Clocks Help to Find Anti-Aging Treatments | Steve Horvath | TEDxBerkeley

[iankallmeyer]

I like that Steve and his friends, in high school, decided they wanted to work on stopping ageing. My friends and I just wanted to graduate without getting kicked out!!

[Libertas_P]

Steve is modest as ever but the universal pan tissue epigenetic clock ought to be called The Horvath Clock in his honour. Wouldn't surprise me if he wins a Nobel Prize some day.

I want to live to 1000. 100 is way too short these days. Too much to learn and experience.

[TeaCius]

It’s crazy how many people dismissed this guy back when this speech was given...now that his group had amazing results everyone is trying to get on board😆

Is this the start of longevity escape velocity? Kurzweil was right if it is.

[jeffreym]

Interesting research. Would be fascinating to see a twin study of methylation. The fact that we can slow aging with behavioral change is hopeful. Even if it means my wife is right about the veggies.

[deborahbehr]

I love this guy. Lets have him speak more.

[tiberio]

Excellent presentation Dr. Horvath. I will educate myself in your work only out of curiosity...since my wife calls me and 'old fossil' .Thank you.

The newest Nugenics discovery is the start of a revolution. I wonder if I’ll read this comment in 3020 lol

[monicalondon]

Can this apply to dogs? I wish my dog could live longer than estimated!

[scity]

thanks FOR GIVING EVERYTHING i DIDNT WANT YOU TUBE. EXTORT ME TO AVIOD ADS! I cant understand the guy in the add-

[JoeSolla]

"Longer living through chemistry" - think I'll trademark that phrase.

[Nisha-klrl]

Really enjoying the insights here! Aging can be tough, but Planet Ayurveda’s remedies helped me a lot. Can’t wait to share this with my community!

This is a great discovery and Steve seems like an awesome guy. But I wonder if DNA methylation is accurate in anti-aging treatments? People have reversed their epigenetic age by taking molecules such as NMN, meaning that their DNA methylation levels have gone down, but does it actually mean that physically the same they were as before? In other words, if I am able to reverse my epigenetic age by 10 years, I should look and feel exactly as I was 10 years back. But from what I have seen, it doesn't exactly work like that. So I guess it's possible to trick your body into having lower DNA methylation levels without actually reversing the physical state of your body in entirety.

This was 2020 it’s now 2022 what’s the hold up with the anti aging technology please don’t make us wait 50 yrs for this technology all the money backing this should be already halfway done

[winstonchang]

From today on, SEPT. 21, 2024, if you lived long, you will EXPERIENCE MORE, that's from this day on, if you experience the next 40 years, you WILL SEE things you wish did not see and HOPE that you had not lived so long.

Sir i am from india. What is the way to meet you. ?

I still don't understand the point of epigenetic clocks. It'd be one thing if the were designed to predict at what age we are likely to die, but I really don't see the point of learning one's current "biological age." For instance, I'm 36. Let's say an epigenetic clock informs me that I'm biologically 39. So what? Am I going to live to 85 or 110? What does being "39" when I'm 36 actually tell me? Nothing useful as far as I can tell. At most it might imply that I'm 3 years behind the trajectory of the average person. So does that mean I'll die 3 years later than average? Of course not. So what does it mean? Anything?
