Eternity Biotech, Inc.

Eternity Biotech is rooted in research from Yale University focused on extending lifespan and improving human health. Their innovative approach is centered around the identification and manipulation of two genes that can enhance longevity and resilience. The two genes, pch-2 and bmk-1 were initially identified in the nematode worm, C. elegans, and were found to be crucial for extending lifespan. Overexpression of these genes in nematodes has been shown to increase resistance to various stressors, including oxidative stress, apoptosis, and DNA damage. Eternity Biotech has successfully translated their findings from nematodes to human cells. By overexpressing the human analogs of pch-2 and bmk-1 in cultured fibroblasts, they have demonstrated increased resilience to environmental stressors like radiation and oxidative stress.
