Secret to ETERNAL LIFE? Scientists discover how to make old cells YOUNG again
SCIENTISTS have discovered a way to rejuvenate old cells in the body and essentially make them young again.
Experts from the University of Exeter and University of Brighton discovered they could rejuvenate senescent cells which have ceased their natural age cycle, causing them to divide.
The team applied compounds known as resveratrol analogues – chemicals which are naturally found in red wine, dark chocolate, red grapes and blueberries – to cells.
A statement from the University of Exeter said: “Within hours, the cells looked younger and started to rejuvenate, behaving like young cells and dividing.”
Dr Eva Latorre, Research Associate at the University of Exeter, said: “When I saw some of the cells in the culture dish rejuvenating I couldn’t believe it. These old cells were looking like young cells. It was like magic.
“I repeated the experiments several times and in each case the cells rejuvenated. I am very excited by the implications and potential for this research.”
Professor Lorna Harries, a professor of Molecular Genetics at the University of Exeter, said: “This is a first step in trying to make people live normal lifespans, but with health for their entire life.
Professor Dongsheng Cai explains his work in ageing research
“This demonstrates that when you treat old cells with molecules that restore the levels of the splicing factors, the cells regain some features of youth.
Many ESC fans from all over the world are so very sad because we lost Joy Fleming - one of the best singers ever.
