US scientists find gene associated with aging

United States scientists in the 17th edition of the gene and the development of the network magazine reported that if the inhibition of experimental mice a gene expression, mice will appear and aging-related physiological phenomenon.

United States cold spring laboratory scientists in the report, they use complex gene technology, stifle experimental mice "P63 gene". Experimental rat quickly emerged, hump, hair loss and weight reduction and other symptoms that their life is better than normal mice has been reduced by 23 per cent.

P63 and inhibit cancer cell growth of the P53 gene, P53 gene in the human body if it is suppressed, the body appears the tumor. Researchers say that the body is present is similar to the P63 gene, on its research will contribute to the understanding and prevention of aging. In addition, the researchers discovered through experimentation, P63 gene to human skin is also critical to the health of the system.
