Help with Serums?
I am investigating life extension via immunization of the human body from 8-OHdG. This causes DNA oxidation, and in lab tests on mice and rats, blocking 8-OHdG from activating slows the damage of the brain, muscles, bone structure, and liver. Question: Is it possible (within ~20 years) for an implant to actively produce and introduce a Anti-8 Hydroxyguanosine antibody into the human body?
Or, simplified, could it be feasible an Implant to produce serums?

The coating is ethylene vinylacetate (EVA). The core is a mixture of EVA and your drug of choice. If I recall correctly, it is that simple. I assume that the ratio of EVA to drug determines the rate that the drug diffuses through the coating. I imagine a very rough mockup could be made in a kitchen. Some sort of extruder would be necessary for the final product. I haven't done any research into the actual equipment used, but I wonder if it would be feasible to utilize the kind of extruder used in 3D printers.
I'll have to look into how the absorption rate is calculated.
