Research shows that chief aspects of the aging of human cells can be inverted by new compounds developed at the University of Exeter.
For instance, the liver becomes accumulated with fat as we age due to wrinkly nuclear membranes. The nuclear membranes become wrinkled due to the absence of a particular membrane protein called lamin. This condition leads to high risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and death. If lamin becomes well structured, the scientists believe that they could cure the issue wrinkling.
Anti-aging studies are still going on worldwide, in spite of having lots of good and bad consequences. During the 1950’s, scientists proved that the organs of older mice became healthier, by injecting them with younger blood. The scientists also found that aging was connected to only body and it’s ultimately the blood which directs aging.
One of the first studies to explore the effects of calorie restriction on humans showed that cutting caloric intake by 15% for 2 years slowed aging and metabolism and protected against age-related disease. The study, which will appear March 22 in the journal Cell Metabolism, found that calorie restriction decreased systemic oxidative stress, which has been tied to age-related neurological conditions such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, as well as cancer, diabetes, and others.
