Everyone dreams of knowing the secret of obtaining permanent youth, and they make great efforts to achieve this dream, which is no longer just a fantasy, as German scientists were able to discover the gene for this permanent youth. Everyone dreams of knowing the secret of obtaining permanent youth, and they make great efforts to achieve this dream, which is no longer just a fantasy, as German scientists were able to discover the gene for this permanent youth.
According to a report, published by Focus magazine, that German researchers succeeded in discovering a gene that does not die in the body of a small organism known as “Hydra“, which is a freshwater organism, which is not affected by the signs of aging.
The “fox” gene is present in every creature, even humans, and it is the factor of perpetual youth, according to what the specialists say.
According to Thomas Bosch, from the Institute of Zoology at Keele University, who led the study, research has established a relationship between the activity of the fox gene and the development of the aging process in humans and all creatures. Thomas said: “The fox gene has been found to be particularly active in centenarians who have exceeded the age of one hundred years. This is why we believe that the fox gene plays a major role in aging, and not just in the aquatic animal Hydra.” However, the hypothesis cannot be verified in humans, because that would require manipulating the genes of humans.
Bosch stresses that whatever the current findings, the discovery is still a huge step forward in explaining how to understand the human aging process. Therefore, the next step should be to study how the fox gene works in Hydra, and how environmental factors affect its activity.
