A Stop to Aging
Living longer is one thing, but staying young is another. A U.S. team of scientists may have found a way to keep us young as our bodies grow old. The research team has discovered genetic triggers that control a cell's ability to clean-up faulty proteins. When we are young the clean-up process happens more smoothly and efficiently but as we grow older the process of recycling worn out protein slows. This contributes to major organs failing and diseases associated with aging. The scientists were able to slow the aging process in older mice by triggering the systems within cells that do the clean up. After more research and studies scientists may be able to stimulate this process in humans and curb aging.

Ill belive it when i see it.
nice. to be young and perky till a ripe old age would be ideal.
You're great for posting stuff like this. Kudos.
This is quite interesting. Thanks for the post!
loved this post!! thanks!
Science can do some pretty crazy stuff these days. That's really awesome.
I often times hearing myself talk "god, I don't wanna get old.." Maybe because I'm turing 35 in a few months, but this news makes me go.. hmmmmm... Thanks for your entry!
Science scares the shit outta me.
very interesting, difficult to imagine myself, maybe because I believe in normal cycle of life, but it would be beautiful to slow aging process to see my children and grandchildren grow up, and of course to be for more years with the loved once.
I really hope that this is true,
not so much for me and you,
but so movie stars can stay in the public eye
right up until the day they die.
Because I really miss Bob Barker.
very cool!
Dear friends!
We are watching the Great Lie from Internet & TV! The reality is that Saakashvili FIRST bombed Tskhinvali on the Day of the Olympian Games! Georgian soldiers SHOT Russian Peace-making armies, peaceful population FIRST and only AFTER this Russia moved army to prevent further destruction. Remember Kosovo, and the US position in that case!
If you understand the reality, that means your have a free mind.
P.S. Please, send this message to all your friends.
Thank you!
