Scientists have learned how to stop aging
A team of researchers from Harvard and the Institute of New South Wales through natural proteins and molecules managed to turn off the genes responsible for aging. While the experiment was carried out exclusively on mice, but this is a great step on the path to permanent youth.
As explained by researchers from Harvard, with natural proteins and molecules they managed to turn off the genes responsible for aging, and activate the "young" genes. While the experiments were in laboratory mice, but clinical trials in humans have already been delivered at the initial stage.
"We have discovered genes that control how the body fights aging, and if adequately to activate them, they have a fairly strong effect, you can even turn aging back, at least in mice," announced Dr. David Sinclair, managing a team of research workers. "We introduced them to the molecule, which magnified NMN, and within weeks the aging process in the muscles stopped," added Sinclair.
Version researcher, this breakthrough can be used to create medicine that will be able to restore the youthfulness of the body's cells, RT reports referring to ABC. He added that tests on humans are not so long ago, but it is expected that the results will be promising.
Recall that earlier American scientists found the cause of aging and managed to reverse it also in mice. For example, experts have found a molecular mechanism malfunction which causes cells to age.
A major role in the aging process play mitochondria. This "power plants" of cells possessing their own personal DNA. When they do not cope well with their own functions, there are senile diseases as Alzheimer's and diabetes.
