Will you want to beat the statistical lifespan norm for aging by extending chronological life several decades and more? You can do this because the body has two different clocks. One is the chronological clock and the other is the biological clock. In What Age Is there are descriptions of how the ravage of diseases that occur at advanced chronological age can be delayed by slowing down your biological age. There are many ways these new therapies have lengthened lifespan.
The Hayflick formulation identifies a narrow range of time intervals that a normal cell population will divide until cell division stops. Hayflick formulated the concept that a population of normal human fetal cells in a culture will divide between 40 and 60 times. Each division shortens telomeres at the end of chromosomes and makes further cell division impossible. The aging of the cell population appears to correlate with the overall physical aging of the human body. Researchers have found a way to lengthen human telomeres by as much as 1000 nucleotides, turning back the internal clock in these cells by the equivalent of many years of human life.
A nanometer is one billionth of a meter. Microscopic nano machines of that size have been developed to probe for disease from inside your body, Nanotechnology will be able to backup our memories and personalities. Leading scientists say that it can be used to prevent all sorts of illnesses from being introduced into the bloodstream. Nanobots will scan the body for early signs of life-threatening illnesses such as cancer, diabetes, stopping the early onset of such diseases automatically. There are dozens of therapies from hemophilia to cancer at work today.
Genetic Engineering has shown that many genes can be manipulated by turning them on or off with transcription factors. Depending on whether the gene needed to be up regulated or down regulated to slow aging.
Gene therapy is a technique that uses genes to treat or prevent disease. The technique allows doctors to treat disorders by inserting a gene into a patients cells instead of using drugs or surgery. Researchers are using several approaches to gene therapy, Replacing a mutated gene that causes disease with a healthy copy of the gene. Inactivating, or “knocking out,” a mutated gene that's functioning improperly.Introducing a new gene into the body to help fight a disease.
Stem Cell Treatment of Diseases Stem cell are treating dozens of diseases from cardiac diseases using human hematopoietic stem cells that can be induced under the appropriate culture conditions to differentiate into numerous tissue types, including cardiac muscle. When injected into the bloodstream leading to the damaged heart, these cells prevented the death of hypertrophied or thickened but otherwise viable myocardial cells and reduced progressive formation of collagen fibers and scars. To anti-cancer stem ell transplants from bone marrow or other sources can be an effective treatment for people with certain forms of cancer, such as leukemia and lymphoma. Stem cell transplants are also used for multiple myeloma and neuroblastoma, and they're being studied as a treatment for other cancers. After a successful transplant, the bone marrow will start to produce new blood cells. In some cases, the transplant can have an added benefit; the new blood cells will also attack and destroy any cancer cells that survived the initial treatment. To stroke where large numbers of active stem cells are needed to implement the re-growth of nerve tissue. The patient's stem cells are harvested from abdominal fat and given back in few hours time of the stroke. The cells migrate to the brain and implement growth. The procedure is simple and proven to activate cells around the suffering brain tissue to catalyze rapid healing and to improve brain function. Stem cell treatment has proven to improve bending and straightening of the joints
