The Harvard geneticist discussed an early human trial, unpublished mouse results, and an AI-assisted search for chemical rejuvenation therapies on the Joe Rogan Experience. 

Aging &amp; Longevity

Model: Old male mice
Dosage: 100 mg/kg/day of ALA administered in drinking water

Restoring the naturally occurring antioxidant, alpha-lipoic acid (ALA), to the gut wall rejuvenates stem cells and counters age-related gut degeneration in mice and human models.

Model: Female ICR (Institute of Cancer Research) mice
Dosage: ~240 mg/day of pterostilbene within food

Pterostilbene Promotes Fertility in Aged Females

The plant-based antioxidant, pterostilbene, improves egg quality in aged mice, as measured by an increase in live offspring. 

Blueberries are among the richest natural sources of pterostilbene. 

Model: Young (2- to 4-month-old) and aged (9- to 10-month-old) C57Bl/6JR mice, APP/PS1 mice, and 5xFAD mice 
Dosage: 0.2 mg/mL of doxycycline in drinking water starting at least 7 days before surgery and ceased 2 days before the partial cellular reprogramming window for engram tagging, after which it was immediately reintroduced

Gene Therapy Restores Cognitive Function in Aging and Alzheimer’s Disease

Delivering a gene therapy targeting ensembles of neurons that store memories restores learning and memory capabilities in mouse models of aging and Alzheimer’s disease.
