The Sheekey Science Show | How to deliver CRISPR machinery in patients? (in vivo approaches) | Prof David Liu @TheSheekeyScienceShow | Uploaded September 2021 | Updated October 2024, 4 days ago.
This is part of my interview with Prof David Liu - youtu.be/ml1svbRo7Lg

Here we discuss how to deliver CRISPR machinery in patients (in vivo approaches) such as via lipid nanoparticles or adeno-associated viruses.

$Follistatin - why is this the new longevity trend? Muscle loss, also known as sarcopenia, is a natural part of aging that occurs due to various factors, such as reduced physical activity, hormonal changes, and protein deficiency. Muscle loss can lead to weakness, mobility problems, falls, fractures, and increased risk of chronic diseases. There are also various genetic diseases that result in muscle loss and reduced function and hence much research has been conducted to find therapeutic solutions focusing on myostatin and follistatin. Well take a look at a mouse study that saw longevity benefits following follistatin gene therapy and some clinical trials in development.
