Reverse Aging NYC

 

  • Scientists at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging and Georgia Institute of Technology demonstrated how the aging process for human adult stem cells can be reversed. 

  • Unfortunately, these same cells can become damaged as we age, which makes them less able to replace other damaged tissues.
  • If we could find a way to prevent aging in seem cells, then we could find a way to prevent other diseases, like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, osteoporosis and arthritis---really any degenerative disease could be prevented. 
  • The study's primary aim was to determine just exactly what goes wrong with the biological clock that dictates the division of human adult stem cells as we get older. 
  • They also can grow into a wide variety of different cells in our body and replace any cells that need replacing.
