Part of the Best of 2017 lookback
According to a recent research report, doctors lengthen telomeres using RNA therapy in order to reverse the aging process of human cells. Telomere loss is one of nine hallmarks associated with aging. This article was originally published on LongevityFacts by Brady Hartman.
Dr. John Cooke, department chair of cardiovascular science at Houston Methodist Research Institute, is the author of the recent article published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. Dr. Cooke and his team used RNA to lengthen telomeres in patients’ cells. This made them younger. The lead author of the report made the following comments in a video statement that accompanied the report:
