A group of researchers from the School of Medicine at Harvard University succeeded in the challenging experience to restore function Telomerase That reversed the process aging in elderly mice. Telomerase is an enzyme which counteracts the shortening of telomeres process (end portions of the chromosomes). With each cell division the telomeres become shorter and shorter, until the very cells do not die - this is aging .
According to scientists, human calculation of their mice were not less than 80 years. Two months in a row, they received injections Telomerase That has caused unimaginable yesterday the regeneration of tissues and Rejuvenation . As the author of the study, Professor Ronald Delin, it was as if 80 years have returned the body of 40-year-old.
Doctors from Harvard say that humanity is aging rapidly. But old age is accompanied by senility and disease - and that scares people the most. Harvard magicians gather in a few years to offer people a drug that can, at best, stop, and at worst significantly slow down the process aging . From this death did not deliver, but some will remove it. And most importantly - the elderly will be able to avoid senility.
Scientists believe that the new drug on the basis of Telomerase can extend the reproductive function of both men and women for a long time. However, while Harvard researchers need to do something with one very important side effect of excessive doses Telomerase - Increased risk of developing tumors.
