Scientists Altai State University (Altai) claim that they have managed to create an “elixir of youth.” Designed by drug experts activates processes of production by the body’s own stem cells, which allows you to update the fabric and keep them in a biologically active state.

According to the director of the Research Institute of Biomedicine of the University of Ivan Smirnov, scientists two years the university engaged in substance that will form the basis a component of the drug.

«We are developing anti-aging products for the regeneration of bone marrow after chemotherapy in cancer patients, to maintain a hepatoprotective liver, for women’s health products. The basis of all products development, which has hepatoprotective activity, slows the aging process, prevent age-related diseases, “- said Smirnov

The drug has already been tested on laboratory animals, the results met the scientists

«.. Who looks like a powder substance. The future of the drug may be several forms of applications, such as orally in the form of tablets or as a cream or gel for the treatment of wounds and abrasions, which are tightened immediately, “- said the scientist

Also, the scientist said that. past two years, people call in Altai, and lab and try to enroll for testing the drug on its own, but it is forbidden.

According to Smirnov, the scientists still have a lot of work, before the drug be allowed into production. In the meantime, just to decide what will be the new drug – drug or cosmetic product, will require at least another two years

It was reported earlier that an international conference on the fight against aging in the United States.. It announced two revolutionary events.

First , the first time in the history of mankind begin formal clinical trials of drug-geroprotector (ie protects against aging) in human volunteers.

Second , the researchers finally called the most accurate ways to determine the biological age of a person. Found biomarkers of aging. So, you can reliably find out if a particular anti-aging medicine effectively.

Earlier, Komsomolskaya Pravda described the “method” hours, which was developed in 2013. Professor Steve Horvath of the University California. He is considered the most indicative biomarker of aging

The method has already helped to establish:.

• Faster aging people suffering from obesity, infected with HIV, as well as patients with Down syndrome

.
 

• The human cerebellum (part of the brain responsible for motor coordination, balance and muscle tone) is aging slower than other parts of the brain.

 
• Cancer cells can grow old as fast and slower healthy cells from which they are reborn.

 

Also, it was found that DNA methylation analysis will soon be able to determine how different diets affect our lifestyle. While the survey analysis of DNA methylation is possible only in research laboratories, but in the near future will be as affordable as a complete blood count.
