In the relatively recent past, the term "antiejdzhingovaja therapy" was erroneous. "Therapy" belongs to the medical terminology and medical community is considered a natural part of the aging of human life, and its representatives did not seek to slow it down and thus make it less noticeable symptoms. The only way to deal with the signs of aging has been plastic surgery. Today, however, the aging process are scrutinized, and find ways to slow down or even reverse them.

Hormone therapy antiejdzhingovaja

With aging, the level of various hormones falls and scientists believe that if hormone therapy could, if not stopped, slow aging.

Estradiol

Hormonal therapy with esradiola which are many women after menopause. In fact, it is an anti-eydzhingovoy therapy as struggling with symptoms specific to women at a certain age.

Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1)

Treatment with IGF-1 is directed against aging in general, and not against its individual aspects. Structurally similar to the hormone insulin, although not identical to it. IGF-1 helps regulate the process of regeneration, to resist oxidative stress How to beat stress? Create an oasis And other factors that contribute to aging.

Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS)

DEAS - is one of the thyroid hormones Thyroid hormones: mechanism of action and physiological effects . Studies show that high levels of this hormone promotes greater longevity, especially in men.

Testosterone

With age, the level of testosterone in men decreases. Unlike women, who have an abrupt drop in estrogen levels Estrogen - the key to bone health   menopause, testosterone declines slowly over a long time. Admission testosterone can significantly slow the aging process in men.

Growth hormone

Growth hormone is used in anti-aging therapy to maintain or even increase muscle mass (usually it decreases with age), so that people will feel more healthy and vigorous.

Antiejdzhingovaja stem cell therapy

Discoveries in the field of stem cells Stem cells: on the edge of scandal   They are a major source of hope for those who want to live much longer than a hundred years. Today, the stem cells can be used to regulate blood pressure, normalization of heart rate, lowering cholesterol levels, enhance memory and brain function in general.

Stem cells have the ability to replicate and replace the damaged body tissue, thus improving their function.

Antiejdzhingovaja therapy is just beginning to develop, and apparently on the verge of breakthroughs. It is unlikely that she will give man eternal life (and he is unlikely to agree to), but almost certainly we will be able to stay healthy for a long time and maybe we will cease to be afraid of old age and not be so desperate to avoid it.

"2053. It's only been 100 years since the structure of DNA was discovered. A patient with terminal heart failure Heart failure - when the heart is unable to cope with the work   They were injected with stem cells Stem cells: on the edge of scandal   in the chest; cells quickly got to work restoring heart tissue. A few weeks later, the patient was discharged; his health is in excellent condition. Ten years ago, this man with the help of stem cells has already received a new kidney, and about the same time he restored the knee, restoring the body of former mobility and flexibility. Soon the patient with his rejuvenated heart will again be able to run at a speed of one kilometer in six minutes. Recently, the man turned 100 years. "Today we can seriously expect that this text in a few decades will not be like fiction.

Research

Scientists have long understood and talked about the fact that human embryonic stem cells have the potential to become any type of cell, which has only the body, but the transition from theory to practice was hard. Theoretically, in the laboratory can grow these cells, however, there are serious obstacles to ethical and moral sense - for such procedures require destruction of a human embryo.

In 2007, the discovery was made that certain adult cells can be returned to their immature state. Further investigation, however, showed that the usual way to create a so-called induced pluripotent stem cells is not very effective or not at all effective in dealing with the cells of elderly and very elderly - and it is precisely for them rejuvenation would be particularly useful.

Barriers to the rejuvenation of stem cells is a natural process associated with aging, causes cell death when certain mechanisms within them are too worn to function properly. With this knowledge, scientists have begun to use in creating induced pluripotent stem cells of two transcription factors - NANOG and LIN28.

Experiments

Experiments with people aged 74 to 101 years have shown that this new way of working. Several important markers of aging in cells were recovered, including - the size of telomeres, the little protective "caps" at the ends of chromosomes, and wear with age.

Telomeres and control their enzyme - telomerase, yavdyayutsya key factors for rejuvenation and increase life expectancy.

Each time a cell divides the telomeres wear down a little bit. The task of telomerase is to restore them a little, but there comes a time when telomeres wear out, and the cell dies.

Moreover, scientists have found a way to influence the gene expression profiles, the level of oxidative stress How to beat stress? Create an oasis And metabolic processes with mitochondria. Polechennye a result of these changes induced pluripotent stem cells can be used to rejuvenate and prolong human life.

Reversal of age-related changes of cells - a new technique of reprogramming, which in the near future may be used for a radical rejuvenation. However, scientists warn that it is too early to rejoice and plan a life for 150 years. Recent experiments on mice have shown that the creation of stem cells from adult cells still may face unexpected difficulties. Some of the induced pluripotent stem cells can be rejected by the immune system The immune system - how it works? Even if they are derived from the human body's own, so from laboratory experiments to wide application in clinical practice, there is still a long way.

Revivification

The main effect of which is attributed to stem cells - revitalization, that is, renewal, rebirth to life. Aging - is not a crime, not an aberration, but a natural process of the body, which gradually begin to slow down, fade certain functions, which, of course, leads to the transformation of appearance. And when the skin wrinkles, loses its elasticity, it is only external changes - the ones that we see. But aging also affects the internal organs, which also need to be updated. Revitalization is designed not only to erase wrinkles and skin tightening, and to restore the body as a whole.

Women who decide to turn to cell therapy, should be aware that stem cells do not perform miracles expected of any rejuvenation. After their introduction does not happen instant facelift and eliminate deep facial wrinkles. This material works differently, urging the body to restore its own resources. It helps the renewal at the cellular level, which is carried out at a young age the body without interference. Later, he needs help, and you have the stem cells.

Skin Renewal

Fight with age by introducing stem cells allowing medical cosmetology. There is even such a thing as a "revitalization person", that is, its rejuvenation, which is different from total renovation narrower focus. Local regeneration can restore lost skin tone, wrinkles, eliminate hyperpigmentation, return good color, elasticity and shine - all the signs of a young healthy skin. The essence of local effects that stem cells is effective in the region where they fall directly upon administration - in this case, in the epidermis.

The introduction of cellular material is made by means of mesotherapy, which involves microinjections obkalyvanie skin stem cells. They fall into the area of ​​concern and actively replace damaged cells with their tumors. Soon comes a new build-up of collagen-elastin skeleton, which pushes the wrinkles, eliminating all the troubles related to age cosmetic.

There are no clear contraindications to the administration of stem cells in order to rejuvenate the experts are not called, probably because of the small study of this method. However, before the procedure doctors carried out a survey in order to identify possible deviations that may delay or force her to give up. Introduction of stem cells - this is not a common technique, not salon treatment, as part of the medical cosmetology, so it should be carried out strictly in a specialized clinic with a good reputation. Age acceptable for rejuvenation - from 35-40 years.
