The search for the revolution for longevity technology

The searching for longevity gene becomes feasible and significant when human genomes become available. 25 longevity genes have been found in yeast, a common experimental species for genetic researches, 15 of which have similar versions in humans.  Although the research data for the functional effect of these genes in human on human life span are absent now, the findings in yeast is significant in that they may open the way to revolutionize the technology for increasing our life span.

Is Cloning An Option for Anti-aging Treatment?  Cloning refers to the technique in that use embryonic stem cells to grow any differentiated cell types and tissues to treat human diseases (called therapeutic human cloning). Embryonic stem cell can also be used to clone a human being exactly same as the original from whom the DNA from a somatic cell is used in the cloning. The discussion here for anti-aging treatment only use therapeutic human cloning. How this can possibly to work? In the course of human aging, tissues and the cells can be damaged in our body and need to be replaced. Therapeutic human cloning is cloning for the possibility of recreating young cells and tissues (potentially of any kind) genetically identical to the person to replace worn out cells and tissues without being recognized as “foreign” to the body. e.g. perhaps clone skin cells to treat facial aging. What’s almost miraculous is that a differentiated cell in vitro can be taken back to embryonic state — an immortality state, the differentiation in reverse which suggests that aging reverse, the reverse of developmental programming is not impossible within human reach.
