Can we extend our life expectancy? We can run the body's 'weird clock' any way we want? Modern science says that it is not impossible at all. The genes that multiply our life expectancy are several times more. Scientists have discovered such a gene. Which is like the nematode, the ‘Death Associated Protein’ or ‘DAP Gene’? Laboratory tests have shown that it increases the amount of IGFI, a growth hormone in the cell, in the cell. As a result, cells can protect themselves from becoming ill, producing a large amount of 'anti-oxidants'. And in this way, the old organs give new life to the organ. Although this discovery is still confined to the laboratory, the possibility of its application to humans in the near future cannot be completely ruled out.
We all want to live longer. It is not just the gods who have churned the sea and searched for Amritkumbh. For ages, people have also wished to drink that 'nectar'.
In that case, the first question that comes to our mind is - why do we get old? What happens to our bodies, which causes us to grow old?
Scientists have come to search for the 'Amritkumbe', and firstly, to understand how aging occurs in our body, we need to know first why - for some reason, every single cell in the body suffers. And what is the role of our cells for that? How responsible is our lifestyle?
Our body is made up of millions of cells. As long as those cells work together, we survive. And when their work is interrupted, we become physically ill. The body is involved with a little reach at the doorstep of the elderly.
There are very few animals in the animal world. So are the animals of longevity. For example, there are some animals that die once inbreeding. Now some turtles in the Galapagos Islands are 170 years old. Marine lobster is 140 years old. And some marine oysters are over the age of 400.
Imagine that they survived the process of Chandragupta!
Scientists have seen how long each body's cells live in each organism, depending on whether it is a "biological clock" or a biological clock. This watch is only for a short period of time. And when the clock was finished, the cells died.
It has been shown that the cells of the body constantly break down during survival. What is called 'division'. In this way, they create new cells by copying their 'DNA copy' or image. In 1930, Leonard Heflik conducted research on human cells and found that human cells can break or "divide" at least 50 times. This is called the Heflick Limit. And it takes them exactly 9 months to complete the process. This cell differentiation process is similar to one for each animal. For example, in the case of the Turtles of the Galapagos Islands, this 'Heflick Limit' occurs 125 times. If another human life for 85 years, his 'Heflick Limit' is 20 times the sum. In this way, the Heflick Limit is linked to that organism's potential life expectancy.
For decades, scientists have been trying to identify that gene within cells So that the life expectancy of people can increase significantly. In 1993, scientist Cynthia Kenyon discovered two genes called 'DAF-Two' and 'DAP-Sixteen' in an insect's nematode. The two genes associated with the 'strange clock' in the cell of that animal. As a result, the animal's life span (which is only 14 days) was doubled (28 days).
