Scientific Glossary

Key terms and concepts in our immortality research

Transdifferentiation

The process by which a mature cell transforms into another type of mature cell without going through an intermediate pluripotent state.

Telomerase

An enzyme that adds DNA sequence repeats to the 3' end of DNA strands in telomere regions, which are found at the ends of chromosomes.

Consensus Mechanism

A fault-tolerant mechanism used in blockchain systems to achieve necessary agreement on a single data value among distributed processes or systems.

Zero-Knowledge Proof

A method by which one party can prove to another that a statement is true without revealing any information beyond the validity of the statement itself.

Senescence

The process by which cells age and permanently stop dividing but do not die, remaining metabolically active.

Epigenetic Reprogramming

The resetting of epigenetic marks during early embryonic development or in induced pluripotent stem cells.
