  • Patent number: 10293001
    Abstract: This invention relates to the use of autologous stem/progenitor cells to restore or rejuvenate adult stem cell function in a mammal, wherein the restoration or rejuvenating extends lifespan and/or improves health of the mammal. In addition, the invention also relates to compositions containing one or more regulatory factors secreted or released from isolated mammalian stem/progenitor cells and use of such compositions to extend lifespan and/or improve health of a mammal. Also provided are methods of treating, delaying, preventing or reversing progeria or related syndromes in a mammal using isolated autologous or allogeneic stem/progenitor cells and/or regulatory factors secreted or released therefrom.

  • Publication number: 20090075902
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and compositions for reducing and/or delaying one or more signs of aging which comprise inhibiting NF-kappa B activation. It is based, at least in part, on the discovery that a peptide which inhibits IKK-? interaction with NEMO, linked to a transducing peptide, inhibits the development of various indicia of senescence in a murine model of aging, Ercc1?/? mice.
