Scientists May Have Discovered a Way to Reverse Ageing.
Researchers at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), by attempting to regenerate the gland, may have discovered a way to slow down ageing and even reverse it.
In a Californian study, scientists volunteers were given three drugs over a period of one year – a growth hormonal and two diabetes medications – to stimulate regeneration of the thymus. According to a Nature journal study, participants lost 2.5 years in average on their \”epigenetic timer\” measured by analyzing the marks on a person’s genomes.
Steve Horvath, a UCLA researcher, told Nature that he had expected to see a slowing of the clock but not an reversal. \”That was kind of futuristic.\”
