A landmark study shows the reversal of biological aging in humans.
The researchers used oxygen therapy in a pressurized chamber to reverse aging in two key biological clocks.
The study showed lengthening in the telomeres of chromosomes and a decrease in cells known to cause aging.
The cure for aging has long been the Holy Grail of medicine. Emerging technologies, like the gene editing tool CRISPR, have opened the floodgates to what may be possible for the future of medical science. The key to slowing down aging, however, may lie in a simple and age-old technique.
For the first time, Israeli scientists showed the reversal of aging in two key biological clocks in humans, by giving patients oxygen therapy in a pressurized chamber. The results appear in the journal Aging.
