During a sudden scientific discovery, scientists at the Sullak Institute of Biological Studies have developed a new way to determine a person's biological age that may not match their actual age, according to Medical Express, noting that scientists can identify active genes in age-specific cells. This method predicts the approximate life of a person based on the state of the fibroblasts (the cells most present in the connective tissue). However, the date of death forecast may contain an error of eight years..
Researchers have identified the activity of key genes in skin cells and this new method allows for taking appropriate measures to prevent premature death of a person..
The new method is based on 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 skin in more than 130 people under 94 years old..
This type of cell plays an important role in healing wounds. Scientists have used a method called ribosome DNA sequence to look for vital biomarkers of aging, which evolve with age..
The sequence of ribosomal DNA (one of three major biomolecules considered essential for all life forms) is the means used to form nucleotide sequences in DNA.
