„Rezultatele pe animale au fost spectaculoase.” Întinerirea celulelor: un laureat Nobel arată cât de aproape am ajuns

Researchers are exploring methods to extend life and rejuvenate cells, with promising results in animal studies. Nobel laureate Venki Ramakrishnan emphasizes that aging processes can be modified, but challenges remain. Investments from billionaires are fueling research aimed at slowing or reversing aging, addressing the growing need for elderly care. Current methods include caloric restriction and potential drugs like rapamycin and metformin, though their effects on humans are still uncertain. The quest for rejuvenation also involves partial reprogramming of cells, showing positive results in mice. However, translating these findings to humans poses significant hurdles.
