Scientists have successfully reversed the process of aging in cells for the first time in a move which could help beat the likes of Alzheimer’s and dementia. Many people hope to reverse the process of ageing in a bid to remain healthier and live longer or ultimately to live forever. And now researchers have made a breakthrough. As the body ages, it loses its ability to control how genes are regulated and they ultimately
become more damaged until we ultimately die. A gene is activated by signals from inside or outside the cell to make a molecular message known as RNA. The decision on which type of ‘message’ is created by a group of around 300 proteins is known as “splicing factors”. However, as we get older the amount of splicing factors the proteins are able to make steadily decreases. READ MORE
