The decisive question
Can an aged cell regain function without losing its specialized identity?
Why this direction
A cell-state change is useful only if the cell continues to perform the right job. This proposed program treats identity, function, durability, and abnormal growth as separate questions—not as interchangeable readouts.
What a useful result would need
- A tissue-relevant functional endpoint selected before any test
- Identity assessed with more than one independent measurement
- Persistence of benefit after the intervention ends
- Explicit exclusion of abnormal growth and harmful state changes
Advance and stop conditions
Reproduce a functional effect in a second, independent cell system.
Separate a molecular age signature from improved performance.
Do not advance on proliferation alone.
What is not being claimed
No gene-therapy product, clinical protocol, or demonstrated Karam rejuvenation result is being offered.
