To extend healthy lifespans for as long as possible

pioneering the field of partial reprogramming, a fascinating and rapidly evolving area of biotechnology that focuses on reversing the aging process in cells by resetting their biological clocks without altering their type. This innovative approach is rooted in the principles of cellular reprogramming, where specific factors known as Yamanaka factors (Oct4, Sox2, Klf4, and c-Myc) are used to convert mature cells back into pluripotent stem cells. However, rather than full reprogramming, we employ these factors for shorter durations or in a controlled manner to rejuvenate cells while preserving their specialized functions.

During the partial reprogramming process, cells are transiently exposed to reprogramming factors. This brief exposure does not push the cells all the way back to a pluripotent state but instead reverses signs of aging and restores youthful function. The mechanism involves changes in gene expression patterns, enhancement of DNA repair processes, and reduction in cellular senescence.

Research, primarily in animal models, has demonstrated that partial reprogramming can significantly enhance the regenerative capacity of cells and tissues, improve function in aged organs, and even extend lifespan. Notable experiments have shown rejuvenation effects in skin, muscle, and neural tissues. By harnessing the power of partial reprogramming, Alive Inc. aims to deliver breakthrough therapies that promote long-lasting health and vitality, paving the way for a future where extended healthy lifespans are achievable.
