Studies and aging research have discovered that the major factors that lead to aging become the inspiration to reduce aging through genetic treatments. The comprehending goal of these tests is to understand the process of aging in human beings and also in organism that have similar aging behavior like that of ours. These organisms like fly, worm, rodents and yeast help in finding the differences genetic reasons that affect ageing.
Even thought the tests are not complete for humans to undergo treatments but the findings are proving to be wonderful answer to how our body ages. Intense studies propose that aging does not happen all of a sudden, but it is a continuous and active process of our genes that causes wearing down of our physical body. Do you know, when a human is born he is born with 30,000 active genes? As he grows older the genetic process becomes slowly inactive decelerating the body functions one by one. Poor vision, fatigue, slow metabolism and a weak immune system are all results of aging.
The NF-kB Factor
Studies in the field of aging are concentrating on the cellular and molecular units to bring effective remedies that can slow or reverse the process of aging in humans. One of the most popular aging researches is the age-extending effects of mice. This is done by a compound called resveratol that is often found in red wine. Skincare companies like Proctor & Gamble have come out with genome studies with a good intension of producing more effective youth serum.
NF-kB is the protein which controls the aging process in humans. Researchers in this field are in the process of reducing these proteins with a simple chemical to genetically alter the age of mice. The main purpose of this chemical is to block the protein. To add on the team asserts that when the NF-kB protein is blocked when the organism is old it effectively possible to stop the genetic process of aging. The team also states that when the NF-kB blocking solution was applied on the organism, the skin turned supple and thicker with a sequence of genetic changes, slowing down the process of cell aging. The aging researchers can exchange their ideas with other controversial studies like the Aubrey de Grey of The Methusaleh Foundation who claim that the aging process can also be reversed with the help of senescence.
People with inflammatory skin diseases like dermatitis are advised to apply skin care solutions with NF-kB for cure. But it is not certain whether these creams are efficient enough to introduce the NF-kB inhibitor. A higher dosage of this solution can initiate unpredictable consequences because NF-kB has complex properties that can prove fatal. Excessive rejuvenation and cell proliferation or explosion can be caused due to extensive blockage of these skin proteins and this can lead to cancer in many cases. However, manufacture of these drugs is at a very early stage to comment on their effects on human aging.
