Researchers Discover New Ways to Fight Aging Process
Researchers from the University of Cologne discovered a complex of proteins called DREAM that inhibits DNA-repair mechanisms in human cells and those of mice and nematodes, thereby contributing towards aging and diseases. The researchers suppressed DREAM with a pharmaceutical agent. This increased the cells’ resistance to DNA damage and suggested potential new treatments for cancer and aging.
Researchers from the University of Cologne found that a complex of proteins impedes repair of genomic damage to human cells, mice and Caenorhabditis Elegans. For the first time, they were also able to block this complex using a pharmaceutical agent.
When we suppress what is known as the DREAM complex, different repair mechanisms kick-in, making these body cells highly resilient to all types of DNA.
