Australian and US researchers hope an anti-ageing compound could be trialled on humans as early as next year, following a key breakthrough that saw the ageing process reversed in mice. The study, involving Harvard University and the University of NSW, discovered a way of restoring the efficiency of cells, completely reversing the ageing process in muscles. Two-year-old mice were given a compound over a week, moving back the key indicators of ageing to that of a six-month-old mouse. Researchers said this was the equivalent of making a 60-year-old person feel like a 20-year-old.
It’s hoped the research, published in Cell, will be expanded to humans as early as next year, with scientists set to look at how the theory of age reversal can be used to treat diseases such as cancer, dementia and diabetes.
The research focused on an area of cells, called mitochondria, which produce energy. Over time, the communication between this area and the cell nucleus degrades, leading to the ageing process. Researchers injected a chemical called nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, or NAD, which reduces in the body as we age. The addition of this compound led to the radical reversal in the ageing of the mice.

I would willingly be a guinea pig for this.

finally, we can push the retirement/social security age back to 80.

Blacken, this is a fascinating article. With your permission, I would like to link it on the Nutrition board.

no,this is going to have some political implications,with retirement/social security ,don't you think

Oh, this thread will stay here. I would like to start another thread on the Nutrition board, as well. I'll credit you for the original.

Overcrowding etc.....the Left has always been into population control, while at the same time banning DDT and other things.

Yeah, like social security will actually be around in the future.
haha...love your optimism.

it will. they'll keep shifting & modifying things. There will nevre be some big collapse. Just a series of shifts, gradual drops and decline in standard of living. end of social security means 5 million veterans with their rifles doing some hunting in the suburbs for $ to pay for gramma's meds. Will never happen.
