SUCCESSFUL RESEARCH

Scientists successfully reverse ageing process

A team of researchers have successfully reversed the ageing process in lab-grown human cells.
The breakthrough according to reports could be the first step towards anti-ageing drugs.
As we get older, our cells start to stop functioning and we accumulate what is called ‘senescent’ cells.
It’s not just that these cells have stopped dividing, but they also compromise the other cells that surround them. Removing these cells has been shown to lessen the effect of ageing on animals – such as by delaying the onset of cataracts.
Scientists at the University of Exeter University reckon they’ve found which factors play a key role in turning cells senescent.
They conducted a study on human cells in a laboratory and managed to reduce the number of senescent cells by 50% by using a special compound they had developed.
‘The compounds developed at Exeter have the potential to tweak the mechanisms by which this ageing of cells happens,’ said Professor Lorna Harries, from the University of Exeter Medical School.
