These articles are always interesting but how do I get the treatment?

    Well, this shows promising results in phase 1.

    Most likely 5 years if nothing goes wrong.

    The timeline is going to be wildly different depending on the side effects, and how long people are expected to have to take the drug.

    It's exciting news. Odds are we won't see anything else about it soon, and it's likely they'll need to adjust something to make it work correctly, but this is the nature of research. Especially when it comes to medicine.

    That's great, thanks. A reasonable time line too, might be soon enough to save my knee.

    Similar hope here. Exercise has kept the surgery at bay, 5 years in now (almost 6) since getting it diagnosed, and per the doctors ive got another 10 to go if I keep it up.

    So its possible for me too and I'm hopeful it works out.

    There been stuck in research land for years on end and some are just now in human testing. WHO classifies aging as a disease so would be considered a world wide treatment, however the question is how much is it and how much are your willing to pay?

    How much are you able to pay is the question.

    Ahh now we’re asking the right questions! Lol. We’ll try it as long as side effects aren’t terrible.

    I'm saying the potential cost in capitalist countries will make these treatments a luxury that the bull of the populace can't momentarily afford.

    This is true, hopefully it’s released when medicine and medical practices are better controlled.
