Reverse Aging NYC

 

Scientists at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging and Georgia Institute of Technology demonstrated how the aging process for human adult stem cells can be reversed.  Unfortunately, these same cells can become damaged as we age, which makes them less able to replace other damaged tissues. If we could find a way to prevent aging in seem cells, then we could find a way to prevent other diseases, like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, osteoporosis and arthritis---really any degenerative disease could be prevented.  The study's primary aim was to determine just exactly what goes wrong with the biological clock that dictates the division of human adult stem cells as we get older.  They also can grow into a wide variety of different cells in our body and replace any cells that need replacing.
