In 2023, noticeable successes have been achieved in genetic research and identifying everyday habits that contribute to the extension of life.
A significant finding is the discovery that a moderate reduction in calorie intake by 12% activates genes associated with healthy aging and reduces inflammation. Furthermore, a study involving over 15,000 participants conducted for 25 years found that maintaining proper hydration levels reduces the risk of biological aging and premature death.
In the field of genetic studies, researchers have found that the cox protein produced by the kidneys improves cognitive functions in aging monkeys. Additionally, the amino acid Taurin has been identified to have a positive impact on aging, enhancing overall health and prolonging life in mice, monkeys, and worms.
The utilization of artificial intelligence to search for natural chemicals that slow down aging has led to the discovery of three components: ginkgetin, perilokin, and oleandrin. These compounds effectively remove aging cells without harming healthy ones.
A major breakthrough is associated with the replacement of genetic therapy with a chemical cocktail for reversing aging. Scientists have identified a mixture of chemicals that can restore cells to a younger state. Furthermore, a specific genetic modification has been found to slow down the process of cell aging.
In a study on mechanisms controlling aging, researchers have discovered that certain “jumping genes” can cause mutations that contribute to aging. Experiments on roundworms C. Elegans showed that suppressing the activity of these genes extended life by 10%, demonstrating the existence of a path that controls the aging process.
These discoveries provide a foundation for developing new methods to combat aging, which promise significant changes in approaches to health and longevity in the future.
