American woman gets biologically younger after gene therapies
Elizabeth Parrish, CEO of Bioviva USA Inc. has become the first human being to be successfully rejuvenated by gene therapy, after her own companys experimental therapies reversed 20 years of normal telomere shortening.
Telomere score is calculated according to telomere length of white blood cells (T-lymphocytes). This result is based on the average T-lymphocyte telomere length compared to the American population at the same age range. The higher the telomere score, the younger the cells.
In September 2015, then 44 year-old CEO of BioViva USA Inc. Elizabeth Parrish received two of her own companys experimental gene therapies: one to protect against loss of muscle mass with age, another to battle stem cell depletion responsible for diverse age-related diseases and infirmities.
The treatment was originally intended to demonstrate the safety of the latest generation of the therapies. But if early data is accurate, it is already the worlds first successful example of telomere lengthening via gene therapy in a human individual. Gene therapy has been used to lengthen telomeres before in cultured cells and in mice, but never in a human patient.

(36,988 posts)A pair of super-rich American technology gurus are planning to undergo surgery to install experimental implants directly into their brains.
The two men are currently trying to find a doctor willing to perform this untested and highly risky procedure, The Mirror has learned. If they survive the operation, the men hope to be able to directly communicate with the primitive forms of artificial intelligence currently being developed in labs across the world.
But critics and conspiracy theorists fear these pioneering implants are the first step towards creating a society where every human is plugged into "the matrix". Zoltan Istvan, a U.S. Presidential candidate, personally knows both of these would-be bionic men.

If I can get the gene therapy and then the chip
I will be all set for this brave new world!!!
