"Next Decade May Unlock Secrets to Slowing Aging, Scientists Suggest"
Scientists from the University of Cambridge suggest that anti-aging treatments could be available within the next decade, drawing inspiration from the long lifespans and cancer resistance of elephants, whales, and the 'immortal jellyfish.' These animals have unique genes that enhance DNA repair and prevent mutations, which are linked to aging and cancer. The research indicates that understanding and replicating these mechanisms in humans could lead to interventions that rejuvenate cells and delay age-related conditions. Additionally, studies on a small Pacific jellyfish that can regrow lost tentacles may offer insights into human regenerative abilities, potentially contributing to longevity and anti-aging treatments.
