Is It Possible To Slow Down Aging Process?
According to media reports, researchers at the University of Virginia School of Medicine in the United States have found it possible to slow down the aging process in humans.
Mitochondrial dysfunction in some immune cells during calcium signaling plays a role in chronic inflammation, which is associated with rapid aging, scientists say.
Mitochondria are the power plants of cells that rely primarily on calcium signals. Although calcium is often associated with strong teeth and bones, it also plays an important role in blood clotting, muscle contraction and regular heartbeat and nerve activity.
The team of researchers discovered that over time, the mitochondria of immune cells lose their ability to acquire and use calcium, which leads to persistent inflammation and is responsible for a number of ager-related health problems. According to the researchers, if these mitochondria's ability to absorb calcium is improved, inflammation and its negative effects can be prevented, thereby slowing down the aging process.
