Scientists have learned how to control the aging process

U.S. scientists in the area, in order to control the process of aging, reports the BBC. As we know, proteins - is the cornerstone material of cells, which has a very short life, and the body always a balance between old-fashioned and productive proteins. There are a number of specific arrangements which provide with age, but more errors. As a result of such interference, the body under high loads, and primarily on the age of the heart, brain and liver start due to accumulation of proteins in the cells of the waste. This is supported by the fact that most of the diseases of old age with these bodies confirmed assigned. One of the mechanisms responsible for the removal of more than 30% of defective proteins, based on the fact that the chaperones from one and leads to the "old" proteins to lysosomes, which they walk with the aid of enzymes (enzymes). Dr. Cuervo and her colleagues used in their experiments, this mechanism. Scientists conducted an experiment on mice. In the experiment, one group of mice at the age of six months genetically improved processability obsolete proteins. Eighteen months later, as the group has reached two years (age, mouse standards), the analysis of the liver showed that it worked as well as younger people. In the control group, normal mice was not observed something that has the function of the liver has been reduced because of their age. The study appears in the journal Nature Medicine. Now, scientists at a new drug, to allow this to work would improve the processing of proteins so. Slowing down the aging process Experts hope that the outcome of experiments in the future for the treatment of Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's.
