A new type of miracle drug could let scientists increase the human lifespan to 200 years and beyond by killing off unneeded cells.
on the longevity of human life. In the book, the doctor argues that it is completely feasible for humans to live beyond our standard 100-year lifespan thanks to a new type of drug.Dr. Steele says that a newer field of research known as senolytics could give birth to a miracle drug capable of increasing the human lifespan.
This field of study is trying to create drugs that eliminate the cells that degrade tissue function. Scientists call these senescent cells, and they stop dividing over the course of our lives. When that happens, they begin the ‘zombie cells’ begin to accumulate. This is what releases the compounds that speed up the aging process.
If senolytic drugs are able to destroy these cells, though, it would stop those compounds from releasing. This could effectively cut down on aging altogether. A back in 2020 showed exceptional results in mice, improving physical function and extending lifespan and health. Because mice and human gene functions are so similar, many believe we could increase human lifespan similarly.Increasing the human lifespan is an interesting concept. And many scientists have been looking for ways to
