Anti ageing formula being tested

Sunnyisland

Things like Botox, hand creams, and hair dye exist to prolong the appearance of youth - but what if it could actually be achieved at the cellular level? A collaboration of researchers from the United States and Australia might have done just that. A regular metabolic compound that has been administered to mice has been shown to not just boost muscle function, but actually reverse the affects of aging. The research was led by David Sinclair of the University of New South Wales and the results have been published in the journal Cell.

A normal part of human aging involves senescence, which is a general wearing out of the body over time. Muscles begin to lose tone and become inflamed over time, and they also can develop insulin resistance. Without being able to use insulin, the cells aren’t able to uptake the glucose needed for activity. These problems contribute to why many elderly people have trouble getting around and athletes aren’t able to sustain certain levels of activity as they age.

Human trials of NAD+ treatments will begin in 2014. If the results are anything like what was experienced by the mice, it will be the equivalent of a 60 year old having the fitness of a 20 year old. However, the treatments will not be cheap. In order to gather enough patients to do the study properly, millions of dollars will need to be raised. Though there is no telling how long it will be before this treatment hits the market, Dr. Sinclair has established a company to expedite the process if and when it is granted approval. - See more at: http://www.iflscience.com/health-and-medicine/anti-aging-formula-slated-begin-human-trials#sthash.cm2H50uK.dpuf

I don't think I'm ugly but lately when I look in the mirror I hear a scream and then the glass shatters. I have no idea why that happens. Poltergeist perhaps?????

So this means you'd end up having a lot of relationships involving 20 year old's and 60 year old's because you wouldn't be able to tell the difference...

Well, regenerative medicine is a complex thing. The first Irish genome to be mapped here was done on an organism with regenerative properties so it could be studied.

All that research into the understanding of that and how it then can tie into us takes decades and decades, and then you have to put it into trials.

Those cures you hear about can have a lot of promise, but the road to getting there is hard and long, not to mention costs billions too.

It's like me announcing I discovered a cure for cancer, it's not going to come out that year, it has to go into trials and then finance and delivery methods have to be thought out. By the end of it you'd be lucky to get your product out in under a decade.
