To be young again?

Hello stemian friends, today many people wish they could go back to the past and take a few years off to look younger.
Scientists have worked in the search for that element that can give eternal life, be forever young or reach the end of life without suffering any old age.

But for this there are no magic formulas, if not a path where many problems have to be solved before reaching that goal.
And one of those problems is getting the Human body to generate new cells.

But how could they replace the old cells with the new ones?
Currently a group of scientists are studying and learning the process that immune cells use to cleanse the body of dead or old cells that contribute to aging.
Immune cells are like sentinel soldiers who are responsible for eliminating other cells that the body does not know and the same old cells.

It is important to know that immune cells over time become less active and more in people with obesity problems.

but scientists using lipid antigens in obese mice have managed to reactivate immune cells and they returned to their work, noting an improvement in mice with a better glucose level in the blood.

This was also applied to mice with pulmonary fibrosis, and they managed to restore cells, having fewer of them damaged and even living longer, this would be excellent for people with pulmonary fibrosis problems, which is a highly dangerous disease.

This discovery could be extended to treat a wide variety of short-term illnesses.
In conclusion, the road to eternal youth is long, but this is one more step that has been taken to get a little more time in life and health.
