What is 'rejuvenation therapy'?

Aubrey de Grey (Chairman, Methuselah Foundation) gives expert video advice on: What are 'life extension therapies'?; When did life extension studies first begin?; What is 'rejuvenation therapy'? and more...

Rejuvenation therapy is therapies that actually reverse the process of aging. In other words, not actually reverse the mechanistic process, the actual chemical reactions that occur, but structurally reverse the process of aging so that the body is restored to something like the state that it was in, in terms of its composition that it had at a younger age. Of course this only applies to adulthood. We wouldn't call a rejuvenation therapy something that restored us to childhood, but within adulthood, yes, the idea of Rejuvenation therapy is to actually repair and reverse the accumulating damage of aging.
