Find out the secrets of aging: aging is viable any born?

Professor of Genetics at the Institute of Medicine of the University of California, Steve Horvath and associates have found a kind of biological clock inside the body, works based on the chromosomes (DNA) for measuring biological age count of the internal organs and tissues in our bodies.

Biological clock mystery

This clock shows in as many healthy organ tissue aging along with the speed of the body, some aging back faster or slower. The aging speed of the sick organ tissue parts vary quite strong, with a number of organ tissue "sick" biological age "older" than the healthy organ tissue up to 10 years, although in a body.

Professor Horvath had studied the DNA of nearly 8000 prototypes in 51 different tissues and cells.

Professor Horvath has reviewed the DNA of nearly 8000 sample 51 from cells and tissues as well as cancer. In particular, he reviewed the process of methylated-a natural process of DNA changes in terms of chemicals and different changes depending on age.

Horvath found that the process of methylated DNA the other 353 correspond with age and they can be used as a form of biological clocks. The clock works the fastest in years early to the age of 20, before falling down to a rate of regularity. However, if there is a change in the DNA caused the aging status or not is still a mystery, and scientists eagerly want to decode this mystery.

Opens the new disease treatments

From the study, Professor Horvath and has created a statistical model works on the computer, in order to predict the exact age on most tissues and cells.

This is not the first time scientists use models of biological clocks to determine the aging process. In the past 20 years, they each see the length of the chromosomes as a means of determining the age of biology. However, the study identified the human biological clock as well as the latest studies of Professor Horvath still need more time to be able to make a direct impact on the lives of people.

Research by a professor from the University of California showed the ability to compare the age of the cells, the tissue inside the same people. From there, the doctor can choose to filter the body has the ability to give powerful aging diagnosis of the disease in the future.

Besides, Professor Horvath and were able to accurately predict the age of the test object, by using a saliva sample to the level of error in about 5 years. The Professor believes that the doctor can absolutely rely on this research to determine the risk of disease grows over time.

Neurological researchers Andrew Levine said that Professor Horvath had discovered a significant problem contributing to promote the understanding of the people about the disease today and open up new methods of treating them in an effective manner in the future.

New research has opened the hope "reprogrammed" human body clock

The key to help slow the aging process

Identifying ways in which the DNA become ageing through time also may help scientists figure out the method to prevent the aging process of human beings in the future.

In his research, Professor Horvath and colleagues were able to analyze the age of a mature stem cells. This cell then has to be "reprogrammed" in embryonic State without the negative reaction occurred. Professor Horvath believes that this is the concept of beginning to reset the biological clock.

If the statistical model of Horvath was developed further, this research can be widely applied in finding out about the process of aging and anti-aging. Older people will cause can be handled thanks to the first study.

There are many reasons people and become cells of aging over time. With the research of Professor Horvath, scientists can fully test the factors that directly affect the aging process to help extend the life of the people.=
