Frightening possible for us layman, but is a new thing at once breakthrough for scientists mreka. A death pastiakan toward all living beings on this earth, including humans. No one knows when death will datang.Tapi, a recent research conducted by researchers at the Institute of Health Aging at University College London, UK, gave birth to the new theory, the researchers discovered that the dying process occurs slowly. And, even more surprising, the death process can be delayed like we postpone the schedule of activities.
Worms as test objects while as quoted from several sources on the internet, the researchers see indications of the coming death of the worm that spreads through blue light on the cells in the body. The blue-colored liquid known as fluorescent, or a substance that has absorbed light or other electromagnetic radiation. Fluorescence is widely used in the fields of mineralogy, gemology, chemical sensors (fluorescence spectroscopy), fluorescent labeling, coloring, and biological detectors. The researchers observed the process of death worm did not occur in all parts of the body simultaneously, but slowly.
As a result of a disease, the cells in the worms die one by one. "We identified a chemical pathway that causes the destruction of the worm body cells die, that we can see from the fluorescent light that lights up in the body of the worm," said David Gems of the Institute of Health Aging at University College London, as reported by various media.
"The wave of death from intestinal worm starts then spread throughout the body. The more blue light that spreads throughout the body of the worm, the worm it will be closer to death, "Dr. Cassandra Coburn add, as the principal investigator of the research reported by The Huffington Post, July 26, 2013.
"When the fluorescent light was fading, then it indicates the worm was dead. But, we see the waning light occurs gradually, "explains Gems.Temuan raises new theory that the extinction of the fluorescent light can be blocked prior to postpone death, to rescue the cells that are still in good shape." This proves that the old age actually does not affect cells in the body. However, cell death is a parallel activity, ". "We're thinking of a way to disrupt the chemical processes that lead to death, so that death can be postponed," added Gems.Saat this, the team is focusing on studying the biological events that occur in the aging process of living beings.
Life prediction
Talk about aging, similar to the above study, another study researchers conducted a set of King's College, England, discovered new techniques in a blood test, which can predict how soon a person will grow old. Results of this study seemed to pave the way for the development of treatment of diseases associated with aging person.
Reported by the Telegraph, the research team has identified a chemical marker known as metabolites in human blood, which is closely linked to aging. The results showed one of 22 metabolites were found in human blood can indicate the condition of human aging.
Researchers also believe the new breakthrough in human blood testing can megindetifikasi problem of aging, or even death. According to Ana Valdes, principal researcher at King's College, 22 metabolites associated with aging detectable in the blood. "So, in the future we can predict a person's age and the aging of the blood samples". He explained that the metabolite is also specifically associated with lung function, bone mineral density, and weight at the time of the human birth. "It could be used to determine a person's age," said Valdes. as reported by the source.
