Repair of Damaged Mitochondrial DNAThe company is a Rancho Cordova (CA) based nanotechnology company, that recently acquired an anti aging technology called Mitofusin 1 from Stanford Leland Jr. University. The technology, allegedly, allows for the repair of damaged mitochondrial DNA. Damage to mitochondrial DNA is one of the causes that lead to aging and a variety of diseases. The aim of the company is, by combining this tool with other portfolio products, to reverse certain symptoms and signs of human aging. The technology has been called the first practical tool that can be used to repair damage to mitochondrial DNA. This technology, if applied successfully, may have a significant effect on human longevity. In research, the intentional mutation of mitochondrial DNA in lab animals causes premature aging, and, additionally, researchers have found that mitochondrial DNA mutations are found to accumulate with age in humans.
