Found a way to help you live up to 150 years old

This study looked at aging based on the entire human genome and gave us a more complete picture of this process.

Find out how to help people live up to 150 years old

After 10 years of research efforts to identify gene codes responsible for aging , scientists have found 238 special gene codes that, when removed from the genetic map, can be significantly extended. life of yeast cells in the laboratory.

According to scientists' reports, the most amazing result of this study is the discovery of a special gene code called LOS1 , which, when removed, could extend the life of the yeast to 60% . LOS1 is known to be a gene involved in building proteins, but it is also involved in calorie restriction and DNA damage control. Known calorie restriction can prolong people's lifespan, in addition to controlling compromised DNA has a good effect on slowing down the aging process and LOS1 may be the bridge of questioning. this topic.

If the above results can be applied in humans, we can increase people's lifespan by stopping aging processes. This is entirely possible, because there are many genetic codes and related genotypes of yeast that are also found in higher life forms, even humans can normally live up to 150 years old.

Brian Kennedy, CEO of Buck Geriatrics Research Institute (USA) and the study's lead author, said: 'This study has looked at aging based on the entire genome of humans and Give us a more complete picture of this process. It also establishes a framework for determining all factors that affect aging in this organism. "

With the support of researchers from Washington University (USA), scientists at Buck Institute examined the development of 4,698 distinct yeast strains. In each strain, they deleted a single gene code and monitored cell division. As a result, they identified 238 gene codes responsible for aging, and as long as they do not work, the yeast strains will prolong life. Of these, 189 new genetic codes related to the aging process have been discovered alongside names familiar to researchers.

In addition, nearly half of the genes that affect the aging process that scientists found in mushrooms appear in mammals. Mr. Kennedy also added: "In theory, these factors can be intervened to extend the life of people. What we have to do now is to learn how to control these gene codes according to my will '.
