Any possible news on how to isolate glucosepane so we could even get started? Last time I checked, there were no solution that wouldn't also dissolve the surrounding cells.
- reasonattlm 10y agoNothing more recent than this summary post from January - but read the comments, since a researcher with an alternate approach participated. https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2016/01/the-present-state-of-progress-towards-clearing-glucosepane-cross-links-a-contributing-cause-of-degenerative-aging/ https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2016/01/the-present-stat... Essentially the few people working on this are still looking for drug candidates, largely based on mining the bacterial world for suitable enzymes to use as a basis. They have bacteria that consume glucosepane, so that's a starting point.
