Scientists Say Can Extend Human Life to 500years

{{American Science researchers have announced that they have succeeded in efforts of prolonging human life up to about 500years.}}

The researchers have managed to alter the genetics of a species of worm metabolism which multiplied by five its life expectancy. If the same is applied on humans, man would live up to 500years.

Eternal life. It is the dream (?) Sold by scientists Buck Institute of Research on Aging, located in California .

As they published December 12 in the journal Cell Reports (and relayed from or through high perspective daily geek show), researchers have found a way to increase life expectancy by five blocking molecules – which affected the action insulin – and an enzyme.

These regulating growth , mobility and cell survival . At first, they had looked on the enzyme, tripling the life expectancy.

Doubling blocking, they exceeded their expectations. “Both mutations have triggered a positive feedback loop in specific tissues that have amplified life ,” said Pankaj Kapahi , a member of the research team . ” Basically , these worms lived the human equivalent of 400 to 500 years.”

Apart from longer life , this discovery provides , in a first time , the prospect of anti- aging treatments through genetic interactions . ” It is quite likely that interactions between genes are essential for the lucky managing to live long and healthy ,” said Kapahi .

So the man took a step closer to immortality. After the ” genetic backup ” , a new process – which will take years before being tested on humans – promises eternal life. A happy prospect ?
