SENS Research Foundation is a 501©(3) public charity that is transforming the way the world researches and treats age-related disease.
In a scientific first, researchers have turned skin cells from mice into stem cells by activating a specific gene in the cells using CRISPR technology. The innovative approach offers a potentially simpler technique to produce the valuable cell type and provides important insights into the cellular r…
Treating the diseases of ageing requires rethinking of our approach to treating disease. Rather than a “whack-a-mole” strategy going after individual conditions, a concerted medical effort against ageing as a whole is in order.
Aging is something that we all share, rich or poor; it is something that happens to us all, and we are taught from a young age that it is inevitable. However, some scientists believe that aging is amenable to medical intervention and that such interventions could be the solution to preventing or reversing age-related diseases.
Academics are currently debating whether aging is natural or a pathological disease that we can treat.

Researchers hope their new approach, which works well in lab animals, may save more lives.
Over 85 percent of proteins in the body can’t be targeted with conventional chemical drugs. By working on the RNA responsible for problematic proteins, gene silencing opens up an enormous portion of the genome to intervention. If realized, a new class of drugs based on gene silencing could overhaul modern medicine.
