As a natural process we all grow older, but scientists do not know the exact mechanism .
Recently, experts from the U.S. discovered that our genome (all the genes) there is a built in biological clock that shows when you grow old, as an organization, but each institution separately.
" To deal with old age would first have to define. And it did. We discovered some biomarkers which are the body clock. Now, we can tell when a body is aging and will no longer operate flawlessly , "explains Steve Horvath, Professor of Genetics and Biostatistics, School of Medicine, University of California - Los Angeles (UCLA) . http://addwebvideo.com/story.php?title=the-degree-of-cellulite-divided-into-three-phases-
In the study, the American expert analysis made about 8,000 DNA samples from 51 healthy or whether cancer cells, which sought whether DNA methylation varies depending on the age of an organ. Indeed, the changes brought about by methylation "broadcast" and our descendants, and this is called epigenetics.
The investigation showed that indeed the methylation varies considerably between different parts of the body and thus can be used as an indicator of clock showing the time of the institution.
According to what the experts have discovered, the clock is ticking faster until the age of 20 and then slows down. Moreover, this way they can understand if some body organs are age even ten years older than their adjacent.
"It would be very useful if we were to develop interventions in the genetic material in order to reset the clock and stay young," said Steve Horvath.
In this way, for example, experts identified in healthy heart tissue that biological age is about nine years younger than the actual age of the individual or that of female breast tissue, even healthy, seem to age faster than rest of the body, namely two to three years longer than most other institutions.
If a woman has breast cancer, the healthy tissue around the tumor is on average 12 years old more than normal age.
