A new way to determine the human biological age – S A N A

Washington – SANA

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – US researchers have come up with a clever way to determine a person's biological age that might not match his actual age by an 8-year error.

According to the Medical Express website, researchers at the Institute of Biological Studies in Seoul have been working to determine the activity of the major genes in skin cells, and the new method can take appropriate measures to prevent premature death. of somebody.

In the new method, the researchers used the badysis of young and old connective tissue cells, one of the four main types of human body tissues that support, bind or separate different types of tissues and organs taken from the body. skin of more than 130 people under 94 years old.

The researchers said that this type of cell plays an important role in wound healing, pointing out that they have resorted to a method called the RNA sequence to look for vital biomarkers of aging that change with the disease. 39, age, thus allowing the nucleotide sequence in the DNA information molecules. Identify the active genes in the cells at a given age.

The researchers explained that this method can predict the approximate age of a person depending on the state of the fibroblasts, which are the most abundant cells in the connective tissue that may contain an eight-fold error years between the badysis of fibroblast cells and the biological life of those suffering from the syndrome of early aging "Progeria" during their age Ten years
