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 company’s 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.

How did u solve the splitting of cells issue? There are only so many times that a cell can split before it dies completely.
Sign me up for this! Finally, someone is doing something worthwhile in the longevity field. This should be something we won’t have to wait another 20 years for.
Raquel: The splitting issue or Hayflick limit is caused by shortening telomeres. You can increase the limit by lengthening telomeres in cells as telomere loss is what causes the limitation in a cell’s ability to divide.
Where, when and how much to get my tolomeres lengthend?!?!?
I’ll have some of whatever she’s having, please.
