The first anti-aging drugs can be registered within three to five
years. Bioengineering specialists from the US Northwestern
University have made a discovery that could bring humanity
closer to creating a cure for aging. The results of the study are
published in the journal Nature Aging.
American scientists have studied genetic changes in different
organs in several species of vertebrates, including humans. As
a result, experts found that with age, short genes begin to
dominate over long ones.
That is why, according to bioengineers, even a simple injury
in an elderly person heals longer than in a young one.
"Instead of just repairing the cut, the body also has to be
distracted by an imbalance in gene activity," explained one
of the authors of the work.
Experts noted that, having coped with one violation, the body
of an elderly person does not have time with another. Therefore,
viral infections provoke cancer, scientists say.
The anti-aging drugs being developed are not just directed against
aging as such, but against dangerous diseases that accelerate it.
The first medicine can be registered within three to five years.
