The Science Behind the Medicine
LysoSENS, the first beneficiary of LMRF funding: Lysosomal enhancement, enabling the human lysosome to degrade
a broader range of macromolecules than it naturally can MitoSENS, the latest SENS initiative, aiming to prevent mitochondrion-originating cascades of widely damaging free-radical production: Allotopic expression (expressing mitochondrial DNA from the safer
environment of the nucleus) ENS research strategies in general: Just 7 kinds of damage or accumulations that are precursors of most
or all age-related pathology: Intracellular, esp. when impairing lysosomal function
Chromosomal, esp. if leading to cancer
Protein crosslinks, with effects ranging from wrinkles to heart
