Longevity Virus
Chapter 93:Longevity Virus
Not long after, various personnel have been concentrated in the captain's room, and Yi Feng first showed this report to all those who did not know it.
Although people looked different, the general reaction was a little lighter than he had imagined, except for a few older people, most people were surprised on their faces and quickly calmed down.
This reaction was somewhat unexpected to him, and Yi Feng suddenly thought and understood.
Also ah, the average age of the people on the Noah is 28 years old, one by one, in the state of young adults, the oldest scientists are more than 50 years old, less than 60 years old, and they are still at the peak of their careers.
In this case, one by one, one by one, one by one, there are still decades to live, and people rarely think about life.
Extending life is just a little fresh for them, some curiosity, just a possibility, and it is not really realized.
So this great thing can't jump up, or even more exciting than a super excavator.
Everyone is young, who is thinking about old death?Want to live longer is too simple, less smoking, less drinking, less junk food, more exercise... these activities can extend life, can make people live a few more years.
However, these long-lived activities are generally only old enough to remember and be able to do...
Well... for people's reaction, Yi Feng is a little crying and laughing.When on Earth, those leaders, the rich are crazy and like throwing money to study the perfect element, not to gain a longer life?
When they are dying, they will all work on the perfect vegetarian experiment in an attempt to maximize their luck at the last time... although they all failed.
There is great fear in death!
Now it is good, with something that really may extend life, people are just slightly excited, maybe it is because the age has not yet arrived.
"Gentlemen, I think you all know that although the Martian virus is also an carbonyl organism, its genetic structure, protein structure and earth life are completely different.We can use the Martian virus to fill the missing elements in biology and find more scientific inspiration.”
“Now, Professor Constantine’s research team has some new results, please tell them in detail.”I waved my hand and gave a brief introduction to all of you here.
Constantine is a young professor in his early thirties who has also been involved in the attack on the Martian virus.His two black circles are very large, giving people a feeling of fatigue, but their eyes are fiant, and they are obviously being held up by a force.
Talking about his scientific research results, Constantine said with great excitement: "Mars virus is not just just a human being, so far, we have found 3,325 different kinds of viruses."
“They’re actually more complex than viruses and can survive on their own, but we’re still habitually calling them viruses.”
In Constantine's study, there are twelve kinds of diseases that can cause disease, and the rest are not suitable for long-term survival in the human body.Their research team is tracking the viruses.
“After recovering from more than 400 patients, we had a rigorous medical examination of them.Strange things happen, after being infected with the Martian virus, many people's overall physical fitness scores increased by 1.6%!"
“This number is not large, but it is completely beyond our expectations, and we thought that after a serious illness, people's physical fitness will decline, and the result will be higher."Constantine pulled out a chart that listed various data.
Before the Mars exploration, people generally have to participate in strict physical examinations, so all kinds of data are very detailed.
“There must be a reason for it, and we want to find out why...”
“After three months of experimentation, we have finally discovered a virus that is beneficial to humans, called longevity viruses!”
The people below are a little restless, "longevity virus", the name sounds very strange ah.
"Longevity virus invades cells and can reactivate the activity of human stem cells, allowing it to divide more times!"It’s by repairing DNA end telomeres...”
Constantine moved out a set of scientific terms to explain, for fear that he could not say it clearly, and said it in a popular statement.
What is ageing?What is the nature of ageing?
For life, aging is an eternal rhythm.
Hair whitening, teeth shedding, wrinkles, this is visible aging, and the decline of the function of the internal organs, slow response, poor memory, weakened resistance, this is invisible aging.
The essence of human aging is cell decay, and the attenuation of cells is mainly caused by stem cell attenuation.
Humans can live to 100 years or more, and individual cells often do not have that long life, for example, epithelial cells are replaced every 27 days 28 days, and intestinal mucosal cells are changed every 2 days and 3 days.
The body's mature somatic cells die from aging or injury, and their alternatives need to be produced at any time, and stem cells are the source of these alternatives.
However, the division of stem cells is also frequent, which is affected by DNA telomeres.The scientists found that for every round of DNA replication, a piece of DNA loss at the end, which is the telomeres.
It is like a hard hat, guaranteeing the integrity of the DNA sequence through self-sacrifice.
But without this compensation mechanism, DNA, after thousands of generations of replication, will eventually shorten or even disappear, resulting in two consequences of aging and tumors.Therefore, the number of splits in a stem cell is limited.
"Longevity virus can repair some telomeres at the end of DNA and reactivate the activity of aging stem cells..." Professor Constantine said feverishly, "according to experimental data, it can increase the number of stem cells to divide by 30%-50%!"
"That is to say, it can greatly increase the life of human beings, and if it is well controlled, 50% is also possible!"
His voice grew louder and grew, and was clearly proud of his findings, “By then, the rate of human aging will be greatly reduced, and the average life expectancy of people will reach 110-130 years!”
After 100 years, humans will be significantly old!There is not much difference between 20 and 50 years old.”
This time, everyone understood, the heartbeat jumped twice, this is a visible benefit ah, human beings actually have such good luck!
Although this life extension effect is not worth mentioning, but human beings with their own technology invented, can be used by the whole people!
Then suddenly there was some regret, and it was a strange world.There is such a thing on Mars!If the senior officials and rich people on Earth know the news, it is estimated that they will actually build a large spacecraft and go to Mars.
There are many solutions to prolong life, the most powerful is the perfect, but the earth people spent so much manpower and material resources did not do.Now, a long-lived virus has been inexplicably...
Although the effect is much less, but can also extend life for 40 or 50 years, is already very good!
