Researchers at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have discovered a treatment that can regenerate neurons, reduce inflammation, improve memory and muscle function, and reverse other adverse effects of aging. If it works in humans as well as in preclinical trials, this discovery could reverse the effects of aging and age-related diseases.
Telomeres These are the “caps” at the ends of our chromosomes that are responsible for protecting the cells’ DNA information. Each time a cell divides, the telomeres of the chromosomes wear down until this protection is gone, and DNA damage causes the cells to stop reproducing, become inactive, and become inactive. become aging, zombie cells that cause inflammation and cause age-related diseases such as cancer or Alzheimer’s disease.
This is to promote an upcoming Telomere lengthening drug.
I for one am looking for the product release of Lifewave "Telomere Extending" product.. which I suspect will be cheaper. It is good to know it should help regenerate the brain.DePinho’s lab has observed in the past that deactivation of the TERT gene causes premature aging, which is reversed by its reactivation. Additionally, some cells, such as neurons and heart cells, rejuvenate without the cell division required for telomere synthesis, suggesting that TERT has functions beyond telomere synthesis. and that telomerase levels are important for aging.
Based on this, the team began developing a drug that could restore TERT levels. The researchers analyzed more than 650,000 compounds to find a molecule that could reactivate TERT in old mice equivalent to 75 human years of age. They found molecule called TAC which they administered to rodents for six months. After this time, they observed the growth of neurons in the memory centers of the animals’ brains (the hippocampus) and how this helped the mice improve their performance on cognitive tests and increase the number of genes involved in memory and learning.
In addition, the researchers discovered that the molecule can reverse sarcopenia in mice, that is, the weakening of muscle mass, strength and coordination as the body ages. They also noticed that administering TAC also reduced a process called inflammation, the accumulation of inflammatory markers responsible for a variety of age-related diseases.
