Sierra Sciences states that its long-term goal is to reverse the effects of human aging so people can live longer, healthier lives with vigor and fewer debilitating effects of old age. It says its short-term strategy is to develop a drug that temporarily activates telomerase expression and re-lengthens telomeres in aging human cells, and it believes this could help prevent or treat age-related diseases, support adult stem cell research, improve anti-aging health outcomes, and reduce health care costs.
SourceSierra Sciences states that its long-term mission is to reverse the effects of human aging so people can live longer, healthier, more vigorous lives, and that its near-term strategy is to develop a drug that temporarily activates telomerase expression to re-lengthen telomeres in aging human cells. The company presents telomere loss from cell division as a contributor to aging-related decline and asserts that telomerase activation could help prevent or treat age-associated diseases, support adult stem cell research and transplantation, and deliver anti-aging health benefits while reducing health care costs.
SourceSierra Sciences states that its long-term goal is to develop drugs and therapies that reverse human aging so people can live longer, healthier, more vigorous lives, and it frames aging as driven by two primary causes: accumulated damage, especially oxidative stress, and genetic factors, especially telomere shortening. It says it is uniquely pursuing solutions to both causes, and specifically believes that temporarily activating telomerase to relengthen telomeres in aging human cells could help prevent or treat age-related diseases, support the use of adult stem cells in regenerative medicine, and provide anti-aging health benefits while lowering health care costs.
