FORTY FIVE anti-aging gene therapies undergoing peer review at once. Anyone know how plausible the claimed 2025 production date is?

Is there something I'm missing that this wouldn't make a good askscience or asksciencediscussion post?

I guess i assumed it wouldn't get noticed. I thought about r/nootropics

Fair enough. I'd still try. Askscience in particular would get you the best answers.
May not take off, but what you got to lose?

I was just reading on Wired that the WHO recently added old age in their latest classification of diseases, which marks an important step in treating aging as a disease both in current regulatory frameworks as well as ease of prescription of medicines.
Nir Barzilai is conducting a large longitudinal clinical trial on using Metformin (also mentioned in the link above) to delay the onset of age related conditions, which is interesting as it's already readily available and cheap, unlike cell or gene therapy.
