Humans may be thirty years younger with instantaneous cell reprogramming that stimulates cells to revert to infancy

Do people believe that we humans can live forever?

In the previous topic, we mentioned about the concept of immortality, mentioning immortality, the first thing we will think of is the number of divisions of human cells and the phenomenon of strange shortening of chromosome telomeres.

As we all know, the number of cell divisions in a person's life is about 50, and after each cell division, the cell survives for about 2.4 years.

So if we calculate this, the life expectancy of our body should be about 120 years.

Including the telomeres of chromosomes, it will gradually shorten as we live longer and longer.

If a person reaches the end of his or her life, the telomeres of chromosomes will be shortened to a state where they are almost invisible.

Whenever the topic of immortality is mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind is how to increase the number of cell divisions or how to make the telomeres of chromosomes shorten a little slower, according to current scientific knowledge.

However, since scientists have discovered these two phenomena in human cell division and chromosome telomeres, no breakthrough has been found in them, and no way has been found to extend the number of cell divisions or to stop chromosome telomeres from shortening.

Today we will introduce you to another high-tech medical technology that claims to make our body 30 years younger in just 17 days.

Without evaluating whether this technology will be unethical shortly, let's take a brief look at the feasibility of this technology.

The University of Cambridge has discovered a technology that can make the human body look 30 years younger in 17 days, called instantaneous cell reprogramming.

It is a technique that utilizes the 2012 Nobel Prize winner in biology, Shinya Yamanaka. It is the artificially induced pluripotent stem cell technology that we have mentioned before.

This technique seems particularly complicated to us laymen, and we cannot understand this operation process.

Here we will analyze in a simple and easy-to-understand way, what is the specific working principle of this technology.

In fact, in simple terms, the so-called transient cell reprogramming technology is the use of artificial technology to inject four factors into our human cells, thus making our human cells think they are baby cells.

In this way, the cells are tricked into living again.

So now how to inject these four factors has become an important breakthrough problem for scientists to study.

After many experiments, Cambridge University found that these four factors can be injected into our normal human cells using viruses as carriers.

We all know that the reason why our body ages differently are actually because of the content of collagen in our body to determine the fundamental reason.

This is the reason why there are a large number of cosmetics similar to collagen on the market. And collagen is produced by fibroblasts.

Scientists at Cambridge University, over 17 days, injected four-factor viruses into fibroblasts.

This would then turn the fibroblasts into cells from infancy, thus allowing the body to get more collagen.

According to previous historical data, it usually takes about 3 to 5 years for each new technology to go from discovery to research and then to market.

The cellular transient reprogramming technology discovered by the University of Cambridge not only works on fibroblasts, but according to scientists, they can also work on cells in multiple locations throughout the body.

Of course, this technology is only an idealized scientific experiment so far and has not been applied to humans on a large scale. Whether it has side effects or whether it applies to every human body, scientists need to go through a lot of experiments to finally conclude.

So far, in some rich circles abroad, some people have made use of some other high-tech means to prolong their youth.

Here is a list of three techniques, first of all, the first is blood exchange.

In the world about 600 rich people in their youth, every day need to change a liter of 18-year-old and their blood type matching blood. Of course, this operation is not affordable for ordinary people, the cost of a blood exchange is about $8,000, which is equivalent to about 50,000 yuan.

This technology started in 2005 when Stanford University issued a report that found injecting the blood of small rats into large rats.

The average age of the rats was 19% to 28% younger. After several experiments, they found that the same method could be applied to humans.

When the blood of young people was injected into older people, the older people also looked younger from the outside.

The second technology is hyperbaric chamber technology.

The most familiar basketball star, James, used this technique. This technology simply means using a hyperbaric chamber to inhale pure oxygen at high pressure.

Israeli scientists have found that the volunteers involved in the experiment inhaled high-pressure oxygen within three months. Then they will look about 25 years younger from the outside, in the body about 37% of the aging cells die, and 20% of the chromosome telomeres will be stretched longer.

Of course, this technology has some effect, but for us ordinary people, it is also an unaffordable expense.

A hyperbaric chamber alone almost reaches several million dollars, not counting the later maintenance costs as well as the cost of nutrients.

The third technology is the nad pre-production factor.

The nad is the most in-demand molecule in our body besides the water molecule. It synthesizes the longevity proteins we need as well as immune proteins.

Scientific studies have shown that the higher the concentration of nmn in the body, the higher the concentration of nad. This allows the body to produce more longevity proteins and immune proteins.

This operation will make our body look younger from the outside.

Of course, these three techniques are nothing compared to the transient reprogramming of cells discovered by Cambridge University. Because they are almost like treating the symptoms but not the root cause. Simply put, they inject the body with the nutrients it needs, and they cost more.

The cellular transient reprogramming technology discovered by Cambridge University is a fundamental change to the body's cells, bringing them back to their infant state, thus completely making the body feel younger and extending its lifespan.

Of course, when we talk about this, there may be most people who do not believe in these technologies, because for us ordinary people, we are not involved in these high-tech fields at all.

The medical knowledge that we humans have acquired in the direction of immortality and some other information. It doubles in about 70 days or so. This is an amazing speed, and if the development continues at this rate, then our generation will certainly be enough to get such a topic as immortality.

Of course, the prerequisite is first of all that it will not violate human ethics and morality. If everyone wants to live a long life, the earth will be overcrowded someday in the future.

If we analyze it from such a perspective, let's consider a question: Could it be that humans have already mastered the means of longevity by now? But due to ethical constraints, it has not been able to be made public.
