How fish can help in the invention of a cure for aging?
Source:
Despite the fact that human aging is a natural biological process, each of us would like to prolong their youth and delay the onset of aging processes and degradation in the body. Knowing this, scientists are actively developing various methods of cell renewal youth conducting research on the study of not only humans but also various representatives of fauna of our planet. In order to succeed in such hard work, specialists have to rely on potentially successful ideas, which start from the application of different , blood transfusion and hormonal therapy and end with the substitution of organs by cloning. Now, thanks to studies, scientists suggest that one of the types of African fish can help in creating the “elixir of eternal youth” and gives hope the ability to pay .
How to stay young?
Each of us is likely to would like to click on “pause”, stopping once the time of occurrence of the processes associated with the inevitable age-related changes in order to stay young and healthy. According to an article published in a scientific journal , such magic button exists in one of unusual tropical fish that inhabits the waters of African, Zimbabwe and Mozambique.
A Rare species of fish families of African dolgachyov has a certain feature . Since fish inhabit ephemeral ponds in the dry season, in order to survive, they go into a special state which is called the diapause. This “pause” is the biological inhibition of all metabolic processes in the body, including the aging process.
In Other words, the diapause is very similar to hibernation, but it has one major difference. So, if hibernation, coming in cold seasons, in fact, slows the metabolism, but the diapause is able to cancel them for some time. At the time of re-occurrence of favourable conditions for the life of the organism in a state of diapause, a living being continues its life cycle at exactly the moment at which he halted before entering the hibernation state. It turns out that although the time does not stop for the body, it simply starts to go apart from the whole lifespan of a small African fish.
the Elixir of youth may be hiding in the body of some animals.
In one of the articles published on the portal , experts have conducted a new study in which they were able to show and explain the process of diapause in embryos of fish Protopterus, identifying the specific gene that is responsible for this process. As scientists found out, the genes involved in the development and functioning of the muscles of the fish, are also actively involved in the process of diapause. In addition, the study proved that “killifish” can be protected even at the stage of embryonic development.
The Study showed that some other species of fish, crustaceans and nematodes and insects are also able to be in a state of diapause. Further study of African turquoise fish-killer, which has a complex immune and nervous system, will allow to study the impact of natural “time machine” on every system of the body, giving one man the ability the ability of fish to create the proverbial “elixir of youth”.
African fish “of killifish” knows the secret of eternal youth.
