Broo has a face like a child despite being 17 years old.

Thanks to a young American girl living in Baltimore, scientists have discovered one of the secrets of ' non-aging youth .' The young girl is Brooke Grinberg, 17 years old. Her body refused to grow old because she had gone through puberty and her face still looked innocent, smooth and smooth without any wrinkles like a five-year-old baby.

The expert has studied the body's activities and specifically the strange girl's genome to learn the nature of the aging process and the mechanisms that govern this process.

At the age of ' breaking the buffalo horn ', when friends were at the most flourishing stage, Brooke weighed only 7 kg and her height was only 76.2 cm. Even Broo's intellect only corresponds to a girl over 1 year old. Naturally this is a strange disease, need to learn the cause and treat her.

After investigating DNA, comparing and contrasting the genomes of family members, scientists discovered an abnormal gene in her and came to the conclusion that she did not grow old. Because there is a fault of the gene responsible for aging.

Analyzing this phenomenon, they had a different way of looking at the mechanism of aging an organism and hoped to find new ways to cure some diseases related to old age.
