SHR # 2243 :: Study Shows Reversing Aging is Possible :: Dr. Paul D. Robbins - Many of us know how to "age better" but the dream of actually reversing aging may be closer than you think. University of Minnesota researchers understand that. They have started by focusing on the diseases associated with aging, by targeting senescent cells. Senescent cells produce chemicals that make other cells around them sick and aged, and the entire body shows the signs of aging. They have successfully targeted these cells and caused them to self-destruct leading to elimination of the aging burden from the body. ::
