There’s a scientist called Aubrey DeGrey (I think?) who has been trying to get us to understand this concept: Ageing as a disease, to be cured. I saw him on a BBC talk show (sort of light, comedy show) where they asked the audience, “Who would want to live to 200, raise your hands?” Hardly anyone did. Until he explained, “What if you lived to 200, but looked and felt like a 30 year old that whole time.” Of course, all of them wanted that. But it seems that there are so many false assumptions and misunderstandings around the idea of ageing, that science has its work cut out, just explaining the notion of treating ageing as the disease, to be cured?

Great video man! Just one thing, sirtiuns are very over-hyped, and the explanation of them leaving the histones doesn't really hold water. In fact, many histone deacetylase *inhibitors* have been found to slow aging. I cannot see a way that increasing HDAC activity prolongs lifespan, as it will lead to greater geneteic silencing. The reason NMN/NR work is because they increase NAD+, not sirtiuns. As for Sinclair, he sold his sirtiun pharma biz for a lot of money, but in the end it was canned due to higher rates of cancer in those taking stilbenoid derivatives, like resveratrol, than placebo.

There are a lot of promising results of tests done in mice though, especially twin mice. There is also an entirely separate field of treating humans at 2 earth atmospheric pressures with 100% oxygen for x hours over a period of 3 months in that it increases the length of your telomeres by a staggering 25 year worth of length (as in, it makes your telomeres 25 years younger).

Also, immortality is a delusion, we cannot and will never be immortal because even if we didn't age we would hardly be able to outlive two hundred years as sooner or later by the laws of probability something will kill us. Trying to elongate our lifespan is not a bad thing per say thinking we can achieve immortality is delusional, quantity isn't quality, this is hard but true, living longer shouldn't be considered a goal as much as a tool, and a double-edged one, in the quest of living a good life.

Aging is the flip side of cancer. Cancer is essentially too much healing and aging is not enough. Cells are only designed to replicate a finite number of times and as more cells reach this limit healing gradually slows. But if cells replicate too many times, then they are more likely to mutate into cancer cells and replicate constantly. Cancer is essentially death by immortality.

I think we should also consider the environmental reasons for aging. It could be theorised that the reason some animals experience aging is due to population control. This may be because animals that live just long enough to reproduce enough to grow or sustain the next generation are more suited for a food competitive environment than their more age resistant counterparts. Also it's interesting to see that many species that possess longer lifespans also reproduce less and have lower a much lower population , examples such as whales, sharks , jellyfish excetera.

I subscribed just of this one video very well put together thank you.

It hits me like a sledgehammer to the gut every time a joke is just subtlety snuck in, like 3:42. I love it, never change!

I´m very supportive of this video in general, but it´s sadly full of misinformation. For example, the information theory of aging is just one new and controversial theory of aging. It might be right, but just stating that it´s right is frankly just bullshit. Also, the problem with senescent cells is precisely that they don´t function like a normal cell, and also they don´t die. Dying is good, because it means replacement. Cells can´t renew endlessly however, there is a limit, and it´s called the hayflick limit. Senescence is partly caused by this limit being reached, the other main cause of senesence is a protective mechanism against cancer. Basically, the hayflick limit is reached when the telomeres are broken down. The enzyme telomerase can extend telomeres to make cells immortal, and this is sadly used by cancer cells.

there was a study in Israel several months ago whereby several 65(?) year olds were treated in oxygen chambers at 100% oxygen for 1-2 hours per day several times a week for 3 months. They found that the length of their telomeres had increased on average by around 25-years worth of telomere length. So breakthroughs related to the above video and in parallel this research may lead to a significantly prolonged AND healthier life.

Some parts of the body can't be repaired naturally, for example, the teeth. Even if we could stop aging as we know, some parts of us would still wear down, probably some really important parts. Seems like there would be some vital parts of us that would break down no matter what. But maybe they could all be replaced with technology.

Great video. Thanks.

I'd honestly watch a sitcom about business majors and culinary students sharing the same workspace

so would a treatment for aging need to be delivered while we are still eggs and sperm (specifically adding that extra Sirtuin gene from 8:24), or could it be given later in life?

If we find a way to stop aging this would be an evolutionary victory. After an extremely long cycle of deaths and changes in lifeforms, one specie has managed to not only survive, but to ensure that it will not die (naturally, that is). Isn't this what evolution was going for all this time?

Interesting… interesting… although none of these stop ageing for good, I believe the only way we would ever do so is if we target genes that code for all parts of a cell, I’m meaning mitochondria, Golgi bodies and so on…. In doing this a cell would both live longer and (if we manage to target mitosis as well) perhaps infinite cells that live astronomical amounts of time. Of course though side effects like cancer would become more common place due to its nature. Although it is only natural that I would say cancer may hold the key to this conundrum. And I’m talking in very simple terms so people can understand, ageing has been a topic that I have become very interested in almost to the point of obsession, and is the entire reason why I love biology so much and watching speculative videos like this one, so you get my subscription sir!

What's interesting is that since 2/3 is closer to 1 than 1/2, we can say that x/(x+1) approaches a value of 1 as x approaches infinity. In other words if you and your sibling are born 1 year apart you will slowly become the exact same age as each other

honestly have mixed feelings about extending age. Is there a point where a person becomes "too old" to live? What are the future implications of extending the age of humans?

@aanakk

2 жыл бұрын

Future implications is mostly that humanity becomes less and less human as cybernetics progresses because brain tissue degrades after 200 years or something like that. Basically trans-humanism is inevitable. What will it mean for the future is uncertain, either we save reproductive functions, have some other way of creating new humans or stay at the same population without really dying unless you throw someone in the sun.

@FastForwardPlans

2 жыл бұрын

Human aging is not the fault of one singular problem, a lot of things going wrong over time. Our healing factor kind of sucks for example, every time we get hurt, our body sort of just, shoves cells in the damaged spot and plugs it up, the fix is never really perfect, and with time your body becomes more and more patchwork. Thus any complex damage, while patched up tends to weaken as time passes and will eventually become a issue again, which is why if you broke a leg in highschool for example, the pain is gone after it heals, but once you hit 40 the pain starts to come back. It was never perfectly fixed and as other pains start to build up the body can't hold that weak point together as well anymore. Another example is our veins, over time, they can be clogged with dead cells, contaminants, and so on, our body has ways of flushing it out, but that stuff builds up in our organs as a consequence, and in other places that are not as easily to clear out. This buildup eventually can and will lead to organ failure. Beyond all of that, cell death is part of the healing and renewing process, when that fails, we get cancer. If someone tried to stay young on a body of water full of sirtuins, they would probably end up looking like deadpool, except without the magic powers that allow him to survive being made of cancer. A way to stop aging and so on is likely possible, but it won't be a simple process, it will be the result of many medical technologies coming together.
