Tom Benson - Mitochondrial Transplantation Solves Mitochondrial Aging - EARD 2022

Tom Benson is CEO and Founder of Mitrix. He is a serial entrepreneur and scientist who founded 4 successful software, hardware, and science startups including Timepoint Corporation, Readybot, and Scott Systems. He has deep experience in acquisitions, negotiations, finance, project management, and marketing with a deep tech focus.

He was also a manager at the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) facility at Stanford Linear Accelerator National Laboratory, where he gained interest in the imaging of mitochondria via x-ray crystallography and Cryo-EM. This work led him to explore the recent fundamental changes in scientific understanding of cellular energetics and mitochondrial systems of the body.

Those of us who are suffering from Fluoroquinolone Adverse Effects, effects that have damaged our mitochondria - long term - are VERY interested in this research. I, for one, would be more than willing to be a test subject!! Any updates?? LOTS OF US WANT TO KNOW!

[BrentNally]

Tom gave a fantastic presentation! I know Tom has been very passionate about the potential that young mitochondrial transplantation can have so it’s exciting to see this progress! Bravo!

[FullSend]

Incredible, this therapy makes so much sense!

[rhyothemisprinceps]

Really exciting work, very encouraging.
On various forums over the years I've posted the idea of creating synthetic mitochondria that could 'infect' patient cells & replace the native mitochondria - never got any replies.

[houndofzoltan]

They should be trying this on pigs and dogs this year.

[andreasstuermer]

Wondering if you can see a reversal of the Horvath clock (DNA Methylation)

[houndofzoltan]

the three Rs... reduce, reuse, recycle... aren't the platelet mitochondria being reused rather than recycled? In fact isn't that the point, the platelet is being recycled, but it's a waste to break up and remake the mitochondria so just reuse them? I'm sure he means reuse when he's talking, I just feel reuse is more precise...

[stephenromey]

Interesting. My first question. Where do the mitochondria come from? Are they grown in a lab or harvested? If harvested, where are they harvested from - blood/blood products, organs, bone marrow. Off the top of my head, my chief concern today is avoiding spike protein from Covid vaxxed people. If they can present 'clean' mitochondria and infuse these, this may be very promising. Lots of work to be done!

Hi Tom, would this work for fluroquinalone toxicity? Where the mitochondria have been damaged.

[aysgl]

how do you select healthy mitochondria before growing them in the bioreactor?

[ConfirmedCynic]

Most proteins that appear in mitochondria are coded in the genomic DNA. Even if a fresh mitochondrion is introduced that houses a healthy complement of proteins, how long will that last in a less than healthy cell?

[immortalityIMT]

26 kb, pretty large, can they be utilized as a vector?

[larsnystrom]

This suprisingly enough seems to be real!
At least, the mechanism is as described, so it could work.

Looking forward to some animal trials.

Well worth watching this video and check out the research on the mechanisms.

[StarvingMyselfToLIFE]

Why would the body not view these as a foreign entity and respond in that way?

[charlessavoie]

Crown loyalist Wall Street Episcopalians will not allow small people to have any such boost. Eugenics is the order of the day. People in Tuxedo Park New York and at Jupiter Island Florida can get it due to a very high price tag.

[dxbmodalitychannel]

Great work Tom, any plans to test with Emulate "organ on chip" technology? thanks

[starraider]

So where can I buy some lab-grown fresh young mitochondria?

[newdata]

can argue that with extra mito, the animal is burning the candle at both end, and end up living half the life span. and likely the mice with extra mitochondrial live shorter life.

[bertmoore]

Will this procedure change the DNA of your original mitochondria?

[txc]

After just a little thought on this process and how the human body has evolved to take care of itself, this all sounds too complex to understand by the people attempting this work. Maybe in a few decades or centuries this might come to pass?
