Scientists were able to find the cause of cell aging, and also developed a tool that can reverse it. So far, the drug has only been tested in mice..

In rodents, experts have studied the aging process, which is expressed in the fact that the cell loses the ability to produce energy.. In experimental two-year-old mice that were given NMN, the muscles after a week did not differ in any way from the muscles of animals that were six months old.. Most likely, the newest drug created will also help people stay young and healthy longer, and also protect against diseases that are associated with aging, including cancer and diabetes..

Many scientists of the world are engaged in the process of aging of living organisms. There are various approaches to this problem.. For example, at the very beginning of December, Danish researchers reported that they had found species of organisms where aging almost does not occur.. Some land tortoises do not die of old age, but on the contrary, their mortality only decreases with age..

“We have achieved completely unexpected results.. It was a shock for me!

I could not even imagine that the day would come when a way would be found to reverse the aging process, ”quotes the media professor of genetics David Sinclair, the head of this scientific work..

It is worth adding that over the next year, scientists intend to explore the possibility of testing NMN in humans..

The results of the research, which were carried out at the University of New South Wales, Sydney, as well as at Harvard University, are in the publication Cell.
