Researchers just extended the life of middle age mice by injecting them with stem cells from newborn mice. This research could lead to anti-aging solutions for humans.
Speaking of the research, Mr Dongsheng Cai said: "All these basic fundamental aspects of life are controlled by the hypothalamus. So it's really in a leadership position. So when hypothalamus function is in decline, particularly the loss of hypothalamus stem cells, and this protection against the aging development is lost, it eventually leads to aging."
"If we can translate what we have seen in animals to humans, I think humans can function better during a later stage of aging, say eighties, nineties, even hundreds, centenarians. So they could have better functions and their life quality could be better, more improved."
