Biological Immortality This Century? Progeria May Hold The Key | In Vivo w/ Dr. Antonei Csoka Ep. 34
In VivoShow Notes
In this episode of In Vivo Podcast, Dr. Antonei Csoka, biogerontologist and Director of the Epigenetics Laboratory at Howard University College of Medicine, shows how studying Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome, the most extreme accelerated aging disease, is giving us the keys to achieving radical longevity and possibly biological immortality.As one of the scientists who discovered the LMNA gene mutation responsible for progeria, Dr. Csoka explains how this tragic condition is not just a mimic of aging, but actual aging running at extreme speed. The same core mechanisms we see in normal aging like nuclear distortion, telomere loss, DNA damage, epigenetic changes, and especially cellular senescence are all dramatically accelerated in these patients.By understanding progeria, we gain powerful insights into how to slow, stop, or even reverse the aging process itself.Dr. Csoka makes a compelling case that biological immortality may be achievable within this century.#longevity #biologicalimmortality #progeria #antiaging #CellularSenescence #lifeextension #agingresearch #cryonics #YamanakaFactors #MetaDisease #InVivoPodcastDr. Csoka's X page - https://x.com/abcsokaDr. Csokas' Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/abcsoka/reels/?__d=1In Vivo on X - https://x.com/InVivoPodOnXIn Vivo on Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@InVivoPodcastIn Vivo on Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/in-vivo/id1775578563In Vivo on Amazon Podcasts - https://music.amazon.ca/podcasts/1ac4dbec-df46-4d1f-b0a1-742e9656ef44/in-vivo

Philosopher and historian of science Dr. Justin Garson joins me to unpack The Madness Pill: One Doctor’s Quest to Understand Schizophrenia, the mid-century hunt for a pill that could temporarily induce schizophrenia so scientists could reverse-engineer a cure.
Dr. Jason Kelly, co-founder and CEO of Ginkgo Bioworks, joins me to unpack autonomous labs, what they are, why biology’s bench tooling barely moved in 20 years, and why the right analogy isn’t a subway or a car, but a Waymo. Is the biology singularity around the corner?
Cathy Tie (founder, Origin Genomics) and Prof. Jiang Xueqin (Predictive History) join me for a wide-open conversation on germline gene editing, the science, the ethics, and the geopolitics.
Jason Verbelli, founder of Galilean Variance and CEO/Lead Engineer at SEG Magnetics, argues that Einstein left a written test for his own theory: if the speed of light depends even a little on the motion of the source, relativity and Einstein’s theory of gravitation are false. In this interview we start from first principles and work up through John Searl, magnetic waveforms, free energy vs over-unity, the double-slit experiments, the Casimir effect, and what that would mean for energy, technology, and space travel.
In this episode of In Vivo, I sit down with Dr. Rasmus Rosenberg Larsen, Assistant Professor of Forensic Epistemology at the University of Toronto and author of Psychopathy Unmasked: The Rise and Fall of a Dangerous Diagnosis (MIT Press).
