[] Hearing: the cell magazine last week published a study by a slowdown or even reverse the aging process of the new possibilities. The research shows, animal causes variable is always determined by Genetics and not damaged tissue.
Scientists are traditionally considered that aging is the cells and tissues long term wear and the inevitable result of rupture: toxin, ionizing radiation, disease and stress will promote animal aging and death.
United Kingdom in the Financial Times reported, by Stanford University's Stuart King (Stuart Kim) led a group that is on a tiny nematodes. They found that a known biological switch ELT-3 to launch hundreds of genes involved in the process of aging and growing old as nematodes, ELT-3 become more abundant.
Scientists try to make these nematodes become old. They let the nematodes are heat and radiation, pressure, but these are not related to the aging process of genetic influence. Gold therefore concluded that the older animals, the richness of its ELT-3, but this is the control mechanism of an error results. He called this phenomenon as "developmental drift" (Developmental Drift).
If aging is not a chemical process caused by the disaster as a result, but because of the genetic control it has changed, so theoretically, at any level, the speed of aging can be slowed and even stopped. But gold is not able to determine whether the developmental drift also appears in the human body.
