Black Tie International Magazine hosted a luncheon
for
Dr. Bill Andrews, President & CEO of Sierra Sciences , LLC
at Nino's Tuscany Ristorante Italiano located at 117

The afternoon was extremely informative, enjoyable
and very tastey....
Special Thanks to Tony La La and the entire staff

Sierra Sciences, LLC
is a company devoted to
finding ways to extend
our
healthspans and lifespans
beyond the theoretical maximum of 125 years.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Scientific
research
has
shown
that
this
theoretical
maximum
is
limited
because
of the
length
of our
telomeres
which
shorten
as we
get
older.
Our
reproductive
cells
don’t
experience
this
shortening,
and thus
don’t
age,
because
they
contain
an
enzyme
called
telomerase
that
re-lengthens
the
telomeres
as they
shorten.
Sierra
Sciences
is
searching
for
pharmaceuticals
that
will
induce
the
production
of
telomerase
in all
our
cells.
On
November
6th,
2007
Sierra
Sciences
found
its
first
telomerase
inducing
chemical;
called
Sierra1.
This
chemical
is the
first
ever
discovered
that
activates
the
telomerase
gene
without
killing
the
cells.
Efforts
are
presently
underway
to learn
everything
possible
about
Sierra1.
But, in
addition,
Sierra1
has
provided
Sierra
Sciences
with the
first
positive
control
ever for
detection
of
telomerase
gene
activity
in
normal
human
cells.
This has
served
as a
very
powerful
tool for
the
development
of
robust
high
throughput
screening
assays
for
finding
additional
telomerase
inducing
chemicals.
As such,
in the
last
year
Sierra
Sciences
has
discovered
an
additional
62
chemicals
that
activate
the
telomerase
gene.
This now
enables
the
scientists
at
Sierra
Sciences
to
design
better
chemicals
with
increased
potency
and
specificity.
Additional
screening
for even
more
chemicals
is also
underway.
