The duration of the life of every person on the cells will predict

Very soon everyone will be able to know the exact duration of his life. Scientists have learned how to make such predictions in worms based on their cells.

Some people will certainly want to know how much they are destined to live, but someone answer to this question is not interested. In any case, until recently, science could predict lifespan   a man with a very high degree of inaccuracy. Learn, for example, the presence of certain genetic diseases, parents' health, lifestyle, and only then on the basis of all this information to make predictions.

But now scientists have at their disposal a much more accurate method of prediction life span . Experts from the National Institute of Biological Sciences in Beijing analyzed the bursts of activity in mitochondria of worms. Mitochondria are parts of cells, which generate power, and the very outbreak caused by free radicals - harmful molecules, the speed of which can work with a high degree of accuracy to calculate lifetime.

Opening of Chinese scientists suggest that life expectancy can be predicted even at a young age. It is enough to thoroughly analyze the outbreak of the mitochondria or "mitovspyshki" as they are called researchers. Usually live worms 21 days, and their reproductive health peak observed in the age of three days.

Worms with low activity "metavspyshek" in this young age was found to live longer than those who showed high activity. Worms died from the second group, on average, to 21-th day of life. The researchers also found the worms with a certain genetic mutation that leads to an even smaller number of "metavspyshek." Their life expectancy is as much as 39 days. (READ MORE)
