Going 'backward in time': Israeli scientists discover way to reverse ageing by 25 years

In a path-breaking discovery, researchers in Israel have found a new way to reverse process of ing, that too just using oxygen. Scientists at Tel Aviv University and Shamir Medical Centre conducted a researcher wherein y ministered oxygen at high pressures in a chamber. In aftermath, y concluded that by doing so y were able to t only stop but also reverse two processes related to illness and ing.  

For purpose of study, published in journal ing,  35 ults above of 64 were given Hyperbaric oxygen treatments (HBOT) for 90 minutes every day. process was continued for five times a week for three months. Following research, scientists discovered that by using HBOT  telomeres (chromosome ends) could be shortened and accumulation of old and malfunctioning cells in body could be reversed.

"Today telomere shortening is considered 'Holy Grail' of biology of ing. Researchers around world are trying to develop pharmacological and environmental interventions that enable telomere elongation. Our HBOT protocol was able to achieve this, proving that ing process can, in fact, be reversed at basic cellular-molecular level," Professor Shai Efrati, who co-led study said.

Slow ing

In a similar study, scientists recently discovered an internal protein that could slow ing.  study, which was conducted on mice that were sent to International Station (ISS) suggested that an internal protein has potential to slow down ing process. study, which was conducted by Japanese ncy JAXA and Tohoku University, revealed that an internal protein called nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2, or Nrf2 slowed down transformation induced by ing. 

study revealed that mice that went to ISS without Nrf2 protein did t gain weight despite consuming similar amounts of food and water as or group that h Nrf2 protein. study can help develop drugs to treat illnesses caused by ing such as diabetes and Alzheimer’s. study can also help in development of treatments related to flight illnesses and can also benefit astronauts in many or ways.
