“Is it possible to one day get younger as you get older?” The answer to this question is very curious. But a molecular biologist has made a surprising breakthrough, reversing aging in mice. Now it’s time to apply it to people, that is, to answer that question.
THE MICE ARE REJUVENATE! VIEWING IMPROVED
According to the news of CNN; In the laboratory of molecular biologist David Sinclair at Harvard Medical School, aged mice are rejuvenated. Sinclair and his team were able to rejuvenate senescent cells in mice using proteins that can transform an adult cell into a stem cell. In the first breakthrough, published in late 2020, elderly mice with poor eyesight and damaged retinas were able to see as well as their offspring at times.
Sinclair, who has spent the last 20 years on delaying and reversing aging, said: “As far as we can tell, this is a permanent transformation. We think this could be a universal process that can be applied in the body to reverse aging.”
” IF WE REVERSE AGING, DISEASES MUST NOT OCCUR”
Speaking at Life Itself, a health and wellness event held in partnership with CNN, Sinclair said, “If we reverse aging, there should be no diseases. We have the technology to serve hundreds of you without worrying about cancer in your 70s, heart disease in your 80s, Alzheimer’s in your 90s.” used the phrases.
Investor Whitney Casey, who co-owns Sinclair, said: “His research shows that aging can be changed. “Now he wants to change the world and make aging a disease,” he said.
According to Sinclair, while modern medicine deals with diseases, it does not address the underlying cause. Sinclair said, “We know that when we reverse the age of an organ like the brain in a mouse, the diseases brought on by aging disappear as well. Memory comes back, no dementia. In the future, I believe the best way to treat the diseases that plague most of us will be to delay and reverse aging.” ” said.
EARLY PHASE TO DO THE SAME THING FOR PEOPLE
Studies are in the early stages of whether the genetic intervention that resuscitates mice will do the same for humans, Sinclair said. It will take years for human trials to be finished, analyzed, and, if safe and successful, scaled to the audience needed for federal approval.
While waiting for science to determine whether we can reset our genes as well, Sinclair said there are many other ways to slow the aging process and reset our biological clocks: focus on vegetables to eat, eat less, get enough sleep, exercise to maintain muscle mass, socialize and have a good day.”
