How likely is it that people will live forever in the future?

Since ancient times, human beings have tried every means to achieve immortality.

In the 18th century, there was a bloody countess in Hungary. It was said that she was still as beautiful as a girl at the age of 60, and her secret recipe for beauty was truly terrifying. She bathes in blood. And only the blood of pure girls is used. She believes that only by soaking in their pure blood can she continuously absorb the essence and keep her young forever.

Of course, this is just a legend. In real life, scientists have begun to obtain immortality through blood exchange.

According to a report in the well-known science magazine "Science" on August 1, 2016, an American company called Ambrosia (meaning "immortal") announced that it will conduct a human "blood transfusion" experiment as early as the end of August this year. , to verify whether young and healthy blood can bring magical anti-aging effects. Silicon Valley venture capital guru Peter Thiel announced that he will personally participate in the experiment.

At the same time, his assistant Chief Medical Commissioner Jason Kamm will also participate in the experiment. This incident attracted widespread attention and was also questioned.

In fact, this kind of thing has been tried before. Russian doctor Alexander Bogdanov injected himself with young people's blood in the 1920s and claimed it restored his vitality and youthfulness.

Scientists have obtained relevant verification in mice.

Experiments conducted by Dr. Clive McCay of Cornell University in New York State in 1956.

In 2005, a group led by Professor Thomas Rando of the Department of Neurology, Stanford University School of Medicine.

In 2013, the team of Professor Amy Wagers of Harvard University.

In 2014, Tony Wyss-Coray’s team at Stanford University in California also conducted related experiments.

In addition, it is reported that a scientific research team in South Korea is also conducting similar experiments.

Stem cell injection is also a way to achieve immortality. Although I have not seen any papers on this aspect, this method has become popular among high-income people. A friend of Yugezi tried it himself. According to him, a week after the injection, he could eat, sleep, look radiant and energetic. Other effects are unknown.

The British Daily Mail reported that researchers recently stated that if the method of extending the life of worms can be applied to humans, then it is not impossible for humans to live to the age of 500. US researchers have twisted two genetic pathways in the small experimental worm Caenorhabditis elegans, dramatically increasing the creature's lifespan by up to five times. This study raises the prospect of anti-aging treatments based on genetic interactions.

In the latest issue of "Cell·Stem Cell", the top magazine in the field of stem cells, Professor Ju Zhenyu's research group at Hangzhou Normal University published an article online titled "The longevity gene Sirt6 plays a role in maintaining homeostasis of hematopoietic stem cells." "important role" research paper. The longevity gene-Sirt6 gene is a switch that controls aging and regulates the operation of hematopoietic stem cells.

On May 3, 2010, a research team from Taiwan Yang-Ming University claimed to have found the Cisd2 gene that regulates lifespan. They further used gene transfer technology to increase the amount of longevity gene protein and enable the survival of mice in the experiment. Up to 36 months, 1.4 times longer than that of ordinary mice, equivalent to 110 years of human life. What's more, these "longevity rats" are still energetic and have no signs of aging. If a substance that supplements the Cisd2 gene can be found in the future, humans may also hope to live forever and stay young.

The research team of Associate Professor Chen Di from the Institute of Model Animals of Nanjing University, through research on Caenorhabditis elegans, discovered that a magical daf-31 gene in the nematode can regulate lifespan. The daf-31 gene in C. elegans is highly homologous to the human gene ARD-1. In the future, if the ARD-1 gene in the human body is modified to artificially increase copies and increase its activity, human lifespan will be extended.

I talked about longevity before, now let’s talk about the topic that female students are most concerned about, about staying young and looking young.

March 1, 2016/BIOON/--A recent study has made an important breakthrough in understanding the anti-aging of human skin cells. Scientists from Newcastle University in the UK discovered for the first time that human skin cells The activity of a key metabolic enzyme in mitochondria gradually declines with age. This research provides the possibility to find new anti-aging methods.

Those are all scientific research projects, let’s talk about what has been realized:

A group of scientists from MIT in the United States have developed a black technology that can make you 20 years younger! Yes, this is what they developed after 8 years: XPL second skin.

This kind of artificial skin can be directly attached to the human body, making the skin smoother, firmer, with fewer wrinkles, and significantly reducing eye bags caused by skin sagging. The beauty effect is comparable to rejuvenation! In fact, XPL is a silicone-based polymer film with a thickness of only 40 to 70 microns. It is attached to the skin and is not easily noticeable to the naked eye.

It’s not a shame, the picture above

Pay attention to the difference between the skin on the left and right faces, this is not Photoshopped.

There is a dynamic picture below.

However, the official said: Its effect can only last for about 24 hours, and then it will slowly start to lose its elasticity.

Researcher Daniel Anderson also said: XPL can not only protect against sun damage and cover wrinkles, we also hope that this technology can be applied to medical treatment to help treat skin diseases such as eczema and various types of dermatitis.

Human beings have found a way to live forever, and it is only a matter of time before they achieve immortality. We have reason to believe that these scientific research results will become reality in the next ten or twenty years.
