Harvard Researchers Claim To Have Discovered A Chemical Cocktail That Reverses Aging

Harvard scientists have found a pharmacological cocktail that could be integrated into a tablet that could reverse aging. On July 12th, the researchers published a report titled ‘Chemically induced reprogramming to reverse cellular aging’ in the journal Aging.

The researchers discovered six chemical concoctions that slowed the aging process in human and mouse skin cells by several years.

Harvard researcher David Sinclair tweeted, “Grateful to share our latest publication: We’ve previously shown age reversal is possible using gene therapy to turn on embryonic genes. Now we show it’s possible with chemical cocktails, a step towards affordable whole-body rejuvenation”, through his official Twitter handle.

Notably, each chemical cocktail contains five to seven substances, many of which have been used to treat different physical and mental illnesses.

He went on to say that he and his colleagues at Harvard Medical School spent over three years looking for chemicals that could be combined to reverse cellular aging and rejuvenate human cells.

Other scientists, including a Harvard professor, have expressed concern that the report is “mostly hype and preliminary”.
