If you were hoping that either science will find a way to defeat aging and people will be able to live forever, — alas, we’ll have to disappoint you. Despite the fact that the average life expectancy of the population of the planet increased, to avoid aging is impossible, proved scientists from the University of Arizona. In fact, the process of human aging can not be stopped.
«Aging is mathematically inevitable. Logically, theoretically, and mathematically there is no way out,» explains Joanna Macel, a Professor at the University of Arizona and co-author of the study. The study was published in the proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Most efforts to overcome aging is focused on the behavior of the cells in the human body and the process of their emergence, regeneration and necrosis. Those looking for the fountain of youth, essentially, need to their bodies continued to create cells that behave exactly the same as they did when people were younger, and at the same time prevented the biological inevitability, such as the multiplication of cancer cells.
Unfortunately, recent studies show that the solution of one problem in overcoming aging only exacerbates the situation. Stop aging would require the healthy cells continued to reproduce. And it’s doable – they just need to give a boost, but the problem will not be solved. The fact that cancer cells grow rapidly and become more numerous as you age, so deliberate sluggish acceleration healthy cells may lead to rapid multiplication of cancer cells, and in any event will shorten your life.
Thus, to date, to science with a dilemma: how to accelerate the multiplication of healthy, but sluggish due to the ageing of cells, so that it is not possible to reproduce the cancer cells? Scientists say that the natural reproduction of cancer cells in the body due to aging and stimulation of healthy cells, which also leads to rapid development of cancer, equally quickly bring you to death. Probably aging is still the only possible existence for a human being.
