Unveiling the Genetic Breakthrough: Enhancing cancer-killing cells and extending life span
Scientists have made a breakthrough in their quest to extend healthy human life expectancy. This is a major milestone for the field. Researchers at Taipei Medical University, Taiwan, have discovered a genetic modification that could boost the effectiveness of cancer-killing cell by 2-7 times and extend their life by 20 percent.
Scientists have successfully reproduced the extraordinary results of last year’s groundbreaking research in mice using a single blood stem cell transplant. Che-Kun Shen, lead researcher in the study, believes that the findings published in Cold Spring Harbor Protocols are of great importance. He believes these findings may have profound implications on human health, and that clinical trials can begin as soon as this year’s end or next year.
Initial discovery was an amino acid known as KLF1, which, when altered, preserved the youthful characteristics in mice. The mice also have improved motor function and learning and memory. They also have more effective anticancer cells. The mice also had darker, shinier, and less prone to fibrosis, a condition that is associated with decreased organ function and occurs as we age.
