“00:58:44 - Mice that were given TA-65 exhibited re-activation of telomerase and reversal of aging, but did not get cancer. Study. 01:01:30 - Telomerase reactivation might promote the growth of pre-cancerous cells.”

“A large body of evidence suggests that daily DHA supplementation is associated with decreased rates of early preterm birth, particularly in women with low baseline DHA status. DHA supplementation presents an effective high yield, low-risk strategy to reduce early preterm birth.”

“These proteins, now called Yamanaka factors, are highly expressed in embryonic stem cells in mice and humans. Their short-term expression can ameliorate cellular and physiological hallmarks of aging and prolong lifespan by resetting the Horvath epigenetic clock.”
