The Future of Stem Cell Therapy

In this conversation, Yuta Lee shares his journey from economics and law to the forefront of stem cell therapy and longevity research. He discusses the potential of stem cells and gene therapy in curing diseases and extending healthspan. Yuta explains the significance of exosomes in cell communication and their role in rejuvenating aging cells. He emphasizes the importance of immune privilege in stem cell therapies and the need for regulatory changes to support preventive healthcare. The conversation highlights the collaborative spirit in the longevity field and the vision for democratizing access to advanced therapies.

Dr. ⁠Brian Kennedy⁠, Professor at the National University of Singapore and global expert in aging research, shares key insights from decades at the forefront of longevity science.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why aging is a complex biological network, not a single condition
• The role of the sirtuin pathway in regulating healthspan
• How stem cell and reprogramming science is reshaping what’s possible
• Why global funding for aging research remains insufficient
• How Singapore is positioning itself as a longevity research leader

Kennedy also reflects on the personal experiences that shaped his path from early gene therapy inspiration to leading major aging research centers.

This conversation challenges how we think about aging, health, and the science that could change both.

Can fruit flies teach us how to extend human life?

⁠Kennedy Schaal⁠⁠, CEO of ⁠Rejuve.Bio⁠⁠, explains how her team bred flies to live 7 months and what it means for aging research.

In this episode:

– The Methuselah fruit fly experiment: world’s longest-running evolutionary biology project

– What Yamanaka factors and genetic signatures reveal about aging

– How AI and genomics are accelerating discovery

– Real-world applications: Alzheimer’s research and preventive health

– Why Kennedy is advocating for young scientists and open collaboration

Plus: her early fascination with aging, working with ⁠⁠Ben Goertzel ⁠⁠and ⁠⁠SingularityNet⁠⁠, and what comes next for reversing age-related decline.
