In this presentation given at Ending Age-Related Diseases 2020, Dr. Hanadie Yousef of Juvena Therapeutics discusses the secretome, the signaling system of cells that affect the behavior of other cells. The secretome of embryonic stem cells encourages other cells to grow and develop, proiding a rejuvenative effect. Isolating these proteins and introducing them into aging tissues, therefore, is the basis for a potential suite of therapies for age-related diseases, and Dr. Yousef explains the compounds that could be used for such therapies along with their associated targets.
