He Aging is a natural process in the life of human beings although it depends on each person how it can affect them. You can take care of yourself to delay the consequences. According to Dr. Manuel J. Castillo, professor of physiology at the Faculty of Medicine of Granada, up to 50-60 years the passage of time affects “for the better”, but from this age group it East “when the passage of time begins to affect us for the worse.”
Around these ages, small damages appear that appear in appearance as skin spots, wrinkles or changes in appearance. Internally, injuries or functional losses occur in tissues and organs.
Today, a team of scientists discovered how the human body creates skin from a stem cell and even reproduced small amounts of skin in a laboratory. The study aims to understand how each cell in the body is created.
This discovery This could help fight aging, produce artificial skin for grafts and prevent scarring. The project is called Human Cell Atlas and is international in scope but focused on the Wellcome Sanger Institute in Cambridge, England. The project analyzed 100 million cells of different parts of the body during his eight years of activity.
Professor Muzlifah Haniffa, head of the project, assures that these discoveries will help scientists treat diseases more effectively, discover new ways of stay healthier longer and look younger. “If we can manipulate the skin and prevent aging, we will have fewer wrinkles”Haniffa said.
“If we can understand how cells evolve from their initial development to aging as adults, then we can ask ourselves: “How can I rejuvenate the organs, rejuvenate the heart?” How can I rejuvenate the skin?‘”, says the expert.
The researchers found the instructions for creating human skin and they published it in the journal Nature. They used chemicals to turn genes on and off at the right time and in the right places to artificially grow skin from stem cells.
They have already grown small areas of skin and even grown hair. “If we can create human skinwe can use it for burn patients and it can be a way to transplant tissue,” Haniffa said. “Another example is if we can create hair follicles, we can create hair in bald people.”
