Reverse aging for humans: Scientists come one step closer with mice trials
Aging and its consequences have always been something people wanted to get rid of — which is why many studies have been carried out on this front. And developing technologies have begun to eliminate physical changes brought about by aging. But there’s still no permanent fix to the problem of aging.
Anti-aging studies are continuing, and in March, researchers safely reversed signs of aging in middle-aged mice. They even executed fecal transplants, revealing that transplanting waste from young to old mice reversed some of the hallmarks of aging.
Now, molecular biologist David Sinclair and his team from Harvard Medical School reversed aging in mice by employing proteins that can turn an adult cell into a stem cell.
“It’s a permanent reset, as far as we can tell, and we think it may be a universal process that could be applied across the body to reset our age,” Sinclair said in the CNN report. “If we reverse aging, these diseases should not happen. We have the technology today to be able to go into your hundreds without worrying about getting cancer in your 70s, heart disease in your 80s and Alzheimer’s in your 90s.”
