SENSible Question: Billionaires Redux

A supporter raises a new angle on an old concern: might fabulously wealthy people hoard longevity therapeutics for themselves? The context for the question and the motivation behind it are different, but the answer is still “no.” Rejuvenation biotechnology will be widely available to aging people, and SENS Research Foundation will work at the front end and the back end to ensure that access to longevity therapeutics expands as quickly and as widely as possible.

SENSible Question: How Might Cyclarity’s UDP-003 Compare to EDTA Chelation?

A supporter asks us to compare the expected benefits of Cyclarity’s UDP-003 to chelation therapy. Although both target the age-related scourge of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), EDTA (if it works) dampens down the worst aspects of having ASCVD, while UPD-003 is a SENS “damage-repair” therapeutic which is expected to remove the underlying damage itself and reverse the disease process.

Does An Immune Role for Beta- Amyloid Create a Therapeutic Dilemma for SENS?

Some scientists have reported that viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens may help drive Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases, and that the body uses beta-amyloid protein to fight them off. That seems to imply that it’s a bad idea to remove Abeta from the brain. Here we explain how the SENS “damage-repair” strategy leaps over that therapeutic dilemma — just as it does with other kinds of aging damage.

Correlation between SASP or senescent cell burden and any routinely measured inflammatory marker?

For our SENSible Question series, a supporter asks if there are any common lab tests available that could be used as a readout of a person’s burden of inflammatory signals from senescent cells. The answer is ‘no,’ unfortunately, but we review a number of hard-to-access or research-only tests that might be able to tell us something with a bit more work.
