AI-Based Research Suggests , Reversing Human Age , May Be 'Biologically Impossible'.<br />New research suggests that the process of aging <br />can potentially be slowed but not reversed.<br />'The Independent' reports that researchers used machine <br />learning and artificial intelligence to determine if<br />reversing the biological process of aging is possible.<br />'The Independent' reports that researchers used machine <br />learning and artificial intelligence to determine if<br />reversing the biological process of aging is possible.<br />According to a yet-to-be-peer-reviewed preprint <br />report in BioRxiv, the study focused on a key <br />component of aging known as "resilience.".<br />A factor called thermodynamic biological age <br />(tBA) reveals biological information <br />lost in an organism as it ages.<br />The team, which included Gero, a biotechnology firm based <br />in Singapore, claims that an increase in tBA drives an <br />"exponential acceleration" of chronic disease and death risks.<br />According to our measurements, <br />the number of people demonstrating <br />the loss of resilience increases in <br />the population exponentially and <br />doubles every eight years, exactly <br />as fast as the mortality rate doubles, Peter Fedichev, a co-author of the study and Chief of Gero, via 'The Independent'.<br />According to the team, the irreversible loss of <br />resiliency can more easily be understood as<br />a process driven by thermodynamic change.<br />The team's results suggest that the thermodynamic <br />nature of aging places serious constraints on the <br />possibility of developing age-reversing technology.<br />The team's results suggest that the thermodynamic <br />nature of aging places serious constraints on the <br />possibility of developing age-reversing technology.<br />Peter Fedichev, a co-author of the study and Chief of Gero, says <br />that while recent studies have demonstrated the potential <br />for age reversal in mice, humans pose unique challenges.<br />Peter Fedichev, a co-author of the study and Chief of Gero, says <br />that while recent studies have demonstrated the potential <br />for age reversal in mice, humans pose unique challenges.<br />Still, Fedichev suggests that the rate of aging <br />could be slowed by controlling the chaos that <br />occurs in molecular interactions within cells.
