Genetic Secret of Extending Youthful Human Life


AGE LOC: DNA the New Wave

Spectacular new discoveries have unlocked another wonder of genes - the ability to control aging.  Geneticists now know that there is a way to interfere with aging at the genetic level. They are now using DNA to map out a new genetic world. Scientists in the academic and commercial laboratories are now working on how to make the fictitious "fountain of youth" into a reality by using genes. 


According to Dr. Cynthia Kenyon, a geneticist, there is something in the genes that affects aging. She has found a simple genetic mutation that can double the lifespan of a simple worm. She unlocked the genetic secret of longevity in roundworms — and now she’s working to do the same for humans. Now, in her lab in the university of California, she and her team are now using genetic technology to change the course of human aging.  The lessons from that discovery and studies of others in the academe are pointing to how we might one day significantly extend youthful human life.

 Currently, commercial laboratories are also riding into this new wave of discoveries. Dr. Joe Chang of Nu Skin is looking on gene cluster in mitochondria and gene expression to delay youthful aging. According to him, changing the gene expression profile of gene cluster has a positive or negative effect to biological aging. He and his team are working on how to make the gene expression profile as close as possible to the one we have when we were young.


No doubt, this is truly the next generation wave not just for the scientific world but the business world as well.  Do you want to know more on how to ride into this next generation wave?
