What do we know about aging? Over the past 120 years, we have studied, firstly, all known theories of aging and came to the conclusion that most often the main causes of aging are the accumulation of errors in our body. Secondly, we made sure that aging – it is a programmed process, and in our DNA is fixed the time of its beginning, the features of the flow.
We also know that everyone's aging process is different, and some of its factors can be measured. We finally understood how aging spreads throughout the body.
About some features of the aging process & nbsp; said at a scientific and practical conference organized by the company "Emet", Alexander Kolyada - geneticist, gerontologist, researcher at the Institute of Gerontology of NAMSU.
The role of stem cells and other factors in the aging process
Among the factors influencing the start of the aging process in the body, the onset of the cell division limit is often mentioned – when they reach a certain genetically programmed limit, and then the process of degradation begins. According to some scientists, by about age 50, every tenth cell in the body approaches its age limit and begins to produce substances that signal to neighboring cells that the aging process has begun.
Scientists believe that by learning to block the spread of these substances at the level of one aged cell, it will be possible to slow down the aging process of the body.
Another way to prolong youth, subjectively considered by gerontologists – preservation and restoration of telomere length, a also experiments on the use of the telomerase enzyme, which is contained in humans in germ and stem cells, responsible for the youth of the body.
Scientists are particularly interested in slowing down the aging process stem cells, which are not only capable of forming differentiated cells with the properties of various tissues of the body, thereby triggering regenerative processes. Such cells also have antioxidant properties.
As we know today, antioxidants from food do not work as effectively as we would like. But in our cells already have enzymes that deal with free radicals, and much more effectively than the foods we consume for this purpose. Now scientists are coming up with the idea of stimulating these cellular enzymes for antioxidant activity, and stem cells are the stimulus. By increasing the number of stem cells, we strengthen the body's defenses.
One of the means that enhances the work of the skin's own stem cells is a synthetic analogue of the embryonic peptide - the unique Wharton Jelly Peptide P 199, contained in the preparations of the company "Emet", in particular in the injectable preparation Meso-Wharton. Its effectiveness in restoring skin self-renewal processes has been proven by numerous experimental and clinical data.

Alexander Kolyada answered the editors' questions about the theory of aging
Ed.: Which theory of aging do you think is the most relevant?
А.К.: All theories of aging are universal for all people. Of course, aging – it is a kind of program that is slightly modified by external factors. That is, aging can be accelerated by unhealthy lifestyle factors.
Ed: What measures can be taken to ensure that these factors affect us as less as possible?
А.К.: It is necessary to try to reduce the amount of food taken, to revise its calorie content downwards, to monitor the high content of vitamins and minerals in the menu, to observe the daily regimen and sufficient duration night sleep.
Healthy lifestyle – will give approximately 20% in the effective fight against aging
Ed.: Is it possible to slow down the aging process with the help of any drugs?
А.К.: There are many factors and many drugs that affect aging – these are eating habits, and some gerontological preparations. The maximum that can be obtained from the pharmacological component of the fight against aging – this is 20% when it comes to the most high-tech molecules of active active substances. Genetic engineering technologies, which also exist, can be about 40% effective. They are a little more difficult, hard to reach, but quite effective. Healthy lifestyle – will give approximately 20% in the effective fight against aging.
Ed.: And in combination, these methods allow us to hope for a prolongation of youth?
А.К.: Of course, we live in such hopes. More complex and serious methods that will allow you to push back old age are on the way. Perhaps it will be about genetic engineering or other innovations, just need to wait a bit.
