State Lottery Funding Regenerative Medicine

Fight Aging!

Do you want to live a longer life in good health? Simple practices can make some difference, such as exercise or calorie restriction. But over the long haul all that really matters is progress in medicine: building new classes of therapy to repair and reverse the known root causes of aging. The sooner these treatments arrive, the more lives will be saved. Find out how to help »

MyrtleBeachOnline reports that the South Carolina state lottery will be funding research into regenerative medicine to the tune of $6 million once matching funds are raised. This will be a collaborative project between three universities, resulting in the S.C. Center for Regenerative Medicine. Regenerative medicine (such as stem cell therapies and other strategies for stimulating healing and regrowth of damaged organs) is an important part of healthy life extension research. It is encouraging to see money invested in this field. Being able to fix damage caused by aging and injury will help us all to lead longer, healthier lives.
