Several billionaires invested in the labs, including Yuri Milner, a billionaire with Russia and Israel backgrounds, also invested in the labs. The achievement of biological reprogramming is a goal aimed by various scientific organizations, leading to bodies mending themselves. The labs further reiterated that the reprogramming of cells could cure various aging illnesses, including dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease.
