Anti-aging technology has become one of the most concerned medical projects after medical beauty. Last year, the global anti-aging market exceeded 60 billion US dollars. Wanting to delay aging, Sinclair, a professor at Harvard Medical School, also found a so-called gene anti-aging switch, which can allow cells to continue to repair, emphasizing that future technology is mature, and it is not a dream for human beings to live to 150 years old.

The holy grail that countless people robbed is for the magical power that can make people live forever. But since the Holy Grail is hard to find, of course the anti-aging industry is everywhere. According to industry consulting firm estimates, the global anti-aging market reached US$62.6 billion last year. The market demand is huge, and the research on anti-aging in the medical field is constantly advancing. Experts from Harvard Medical School are trying to discover the mystery. Professor Sinclair of Harvard Medical School: “These are human brains grown from stem cells. There are cells from normal people and cells from Alzheimer’s patients.” Geneticist Sinclair spent 20 years of research and found that Diseases are actually related to aging habits. More bluntly, aging is not an irreversible natural phenomenon.

Sinclair, a professor at Harvard Medical School: “In my opinion, aging is a treatable disease. When we look at the diseases caused by aging in advanced age, they should be treated like OK bandages (adhesive plasters). In our research It has been shown that heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, and frailty are all typical aging, and we believe that there is a mechanism that causes this universal aging process.” Professor Sinclair believes that the key lies in the epigenome. If DNA is the hardware device, the epigenome is the software that controls genes. If you can control the software of the epigenome, you can restore the function of aging genes. Professor Sinclair of Harvard Medical School: “As we age, we find that nerve cells forget how to become nerve cells and start to look like skin cells, and vice versa. Of course, we will suffer from dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Because our minds have forgotten how to operate.” Harvard University experts applied this theory to experiments on small mice and found that it can really control the biological age of mice. Sinclair, professor of Harvard Medical School: “We found that one way to accelerate aging is to cut off their chromosomes, and they will suffer from diabetes, heart disease, forgetfulness, gray hair and wrinkles. They will die earlier, they not only look old, we can even master the biological clock, they are 50% older than their brothers and sisters who have not received medical control.” At present, the test on mice has been successful, which can restore the cells to youth, But whether it can also be used in humans, Professor Sinclair is quite optimistic.

Sinclair, a professor at Harvard Medical School: “I don’t know if it will be possible in my career, but I think it is enough that we can delay aging, and it turns out that as long as we can change genes, we can change those that usually only in Genes switched on in embryos, if implanted in adult animals, can reverse their age in just a few months, we don’t quite know how to do that yet, but I can say for sure that the effects on aging mice or Human beings, research information shows that rejuvenation does exist.” Professor Sinclair further emphasized that such aging reversal is not just a one-time chance, and through continuous repair, human life span will be extended. He bluntly said that humans who can live more than 150 years old should have already been born. By treating various diseases by reversing aging, humans in the next century may live longer than we imagined.
