Before the end of this decade, scientists are expected to develop “old medicines†that can delay aging, allowing people to live to be 150 years old or even longer. At present, this magical drug that can help the body to repair itself is in the initial stage of development. If it is successfully developed, we can survive the next century with the help of this drug. In addition, scientists are also researching stem cell therapies that can also improve our quality of life.
Professor Peter Smith, director of the Department of Medicine at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, said that the current baby born in Australia is expected to live to 100 years of age. He pointed out that we can live a healthy and active life in old age. In an annual medical department chief's speech on the possibility of achieving a healthy and happy elderly life, Smith said that the average life span of human beings can achieve a leap forward.
He said: “I think that extending the average life expectancy of humankind for several decades is a very realistic hope. Our goal is not only to prolong life but also to live healthier. We not only hope to live longer but we also hope to achieve longevity. It also has a healthy body. This medicine can help promote the body's regeneration process and make people healthier and longer."
Harvard University geneticist David Sinclair pointed out: "We see this technology is starting to enable us to live up to 150 years old in the future." Currently, Professor Sinclair is studying the discovery of red wine An anti-aging compound - resveratrol. In addition, a newly discovered compound that is 1000 times more resveratrol is also being tested. There are indications that this substance can exert anti-aging effects.
Sinclair said: "Our body has excellent self-repair ability, resveratrol seems to be able to play a role in the repair mechanism." Resveratrol and other compounds extracted from plants can activate the body can trigger DNA repair process Enzyme. He said: "These enzymes are also found in the human body. Therefore, it is highly probable that we have developed drugs to slow the aging process in our lifetime."
In her speech, Susan Greenfield, the Gregorian female countess of Oxford University, pointed out that the 65-year old can begin his second career. They will be mainly engaged in mental work rather than physical work. The Oxford interdisciplinary team led by Greenfield is studying neurodegenerative diseases. She pointed out that we will eventually overcome dementia. She said: “We are entering an era in which average life expectancy has reached an unprecedented degree, and related scientific research results will enable us to lead a happy and healthy life. Otherwise, society and economy will suffer catastrophic effects.†)
