What are you talking about? Ca akg preliminary data appears to show it reverses epigenetic age by years, and epigenetic changes appear to be the cause of aging. Resveratrol basically halts age related changes in gene expression in the heart, keeping it young indefinitely.
Sinclair is bringing blindness treatment to clinical trials within 1 or 2 years iirc.
Alzheimer progress was halted by melatonin in one case study in another it also halted parkinsons. Regrowth of teeth is already in animal trials. As for organs it is likely we can use embryonic development for that and do humanized chimeras in pigs, the research is already quite advanced.
Cancer within years a company doing transfusions from cancer immune humans to normal humans will bring a product to market. There are also nanoparticle sponges from another company that appears highly effective.
True nanobots are likely to be the result of advanced synthetic biology using unevolvable designs. Recently ai has allowed for zinc finger design which will enable the edition of the genome at arbitrary points greatly accelerating progress. Also ai has beem able to predict many existing proteins and design novel ones with novel functions iirc just exactly what we need for nanobots.

OK this is good, I didn't know that

Good, but unfortunately many promising blindness treatments fail in human trials. I hope it works obviously but I'm just warning you it might not
>Alzheimer progress was halted by melatonin in one case study in another it also halted parkinsons.
That's great, but again, many promising treatments fail later on.

Regrowing teeth has been in clinical trials for decades

True, and from what I remember we are already using pig hearts as a scaffold, growing a patients own cells onto it to avoid rejection, and putting it into a patient.

Hopefully this works. In future we could work out how to make someone immune to cancer via gene editing etc

I'm not saying nanobots will never happen, but we've been working on them for decades with little progress made.
Progress in genome editing is good but please try to remember that this is still in its infancy
Yh ai is helping a lot, they already designed a potential treatment / cure for a currently incurable and untreatable lung condition
