In the United States have developed a drug that stops aging
Biologists from the US National Institute of Aging in Bethesda have created a drug that selects the aging cells of the animal and destroys them, increasing its survival by about 36 percent.
As the SnobAccording to scientists, adult cells lose their ability to divide through the 40-50 cycles and begin to age. The accumulation of such cells, turned off from work, triggers the aging process of the organism as a whole.
Experiments on mice have shown that senolithic drugs (drugs that selectively destroy aged cells - Snob) can fight the effects of aging. According to the article, the drug returned to the experimental subjects mobility, as in young individuals, their survival increased by 36 percent, and mortality decreased by 64.
Now researchers are going to conduct additional experiments to find out whether these drugs are safe for humans, biologist Felipe Sierra said.
7 July, Olga Tkacheva, chief specialist on human aging at the Ministry of Health, told reporters that the life expectancy of people by 20 percent depends on genetics and by 80 percent - on lifestyle. She said that long-livers do not have bad habits, they are physically, intellectually and socially active.
