The desire and quest to reverse the aging process slowly grows in urgency as we grow older. Ever since mankind noticed this process it has been dissatisfied and searching for some solution. Mythical fountains of Youth, such as the one sought by Ponce de Leon, have been imagined and fervently sought. Yet no matter how alchemists and modern science has attempted to reverse or halt aging, the process stubbornly continues until we become frail and shriveled and no longer recognize ourselves in the mirror and must grudgingly accept that our end is near.
Of course, science has advanced beyond the hit-and-miss techniques used by ancient alchemists via its understanding of how the human cell works. We now know that the cell is not simply a featureless blob of protoplasm, but that it is a finely tuned organic machine that includes a code we named DNA which determines just how rapidly the aging process proceeds and terminates.
Since we are now able to fiddle around with this DNA, of course, the matter of reversing or stopping the aging process by reprograming the cellular DNA has been explored. Laboratory animals, such as mice and rats, have been employed in order to observe the effects of DNA manipulation. The reasults do suggest that aging can indeed be modified positively by reprograming the cellular DNA. The following video goes into details.
