Replacement for Lifespan Extension
Replacement is an engineering approach to aging that requires fewer fundamental advances in discovery in aging/biology.
- Whole body replacement via cloned or synthetic embryo with neocortex knockout for head or brain transplant.
- Progressive brain replacement via stemcell-based tissue engineering.
- Total replacement of aged body parts with lab-grown young parts.
HydraDAO Objectives
Progressive Brain Replacement
- Replacement of aging brain tissue, minimizing disruption to cognitive function and allowing gradual replacement without loss of identity or memory.
Body Transplant Process
- Refine surgical techniques for head/brain transplants.
- Spinal cord fusion.
Limb Regeneration
- Activation of stem cells and tissue scaffolding to initiate and guide regrowth of complex tissues.
- Use of growth factors, gene editing and bioelectricity to replicate regenerative capabilities similar to those found in species like axolotls.
Cloned Non-Sentient Bodies
- Develop and test gene editing for clone neocortex knockout.
- Achieve near zero false-negative knockout rate.
Bioprinting
- Scaled production of bioprinted organs using organ-specific bioinks.
- Ensuring vascularization and functional integration within printed organs.
Xenotransplantation
- Genetic modification of donor animals to prevent rejection and enhance compatibility.
- Development of protocols to induce immune tolerance in human recipients.
...and much more.
