In the experiment under Gene Therapy It involved two groups of animals - and the two scientists have the effect of rejuvenation: one average lifespan mice was increased by 24% in the other - 13%, compared with the standard. According to experts, the results clearly demonstrate the possibility of using gene therapy techniques in relation to human life. In particular, it can significantly delay the onset of age-related diseases like most of osteoporosis and of resistance to insulin.
The basis of therapy is put mastered genetics technology to introduce human DNA into a virus that affects telomeres - the component parts of chromosomes that determine the course of the biological clock of the body and is largely responsible for its aging. The virus suppresses the telomeres, resulting in the processes of cell renewal is more intense, and the mechanism of aging slows down considerably. But this process can not take place endlessly - only as long as telomeres finally lose their ability to perform their tasks. Time reserve, which allows you to keep them in check, is 30-35 years - that's for such period with the right approach, you can increase the average lifespan human genetics is considered. What is particularly impressive: the difference is not accounted for in the years older, and evenly distributed to all over the path of life.
The problem is that the conduct of tests on humans is a very complex dilemma in terms of ethics. In humans, telomeres contain only before birth and in the first few months of life, and there are only two types of cells, which can detect such types of DNA - stem cells and cancer cells. The paradox, but that telomeres can make the dream of eternal youth human reality, give cancer cells a surprising vitality and allowed to grow and multiply forever, according to the medical press is referring to.
