Swiss scientists tested a fruit fly gene, which, being introduced into the body, one and a half times extended to the insect a life.
The fly was supplied with tissues with additional copies of this unique ahuizotl gene. Such an “elixir of youth” activated in an insect, the destruction of damaged and diseased cells, his life expectancy has increased dramatically – almost by sixty percent.
The head of this experiment is Dr. Eduardo Moreno, a specialist in cell biology (Bernese University), says that maintaining healthy cells in the tissues and destruction of cells of patients, regardless of health status, – strategy that can be followed when working with mammals.
In humans, the ahuizotl gene is also available. If its effect on the human body will be the same as the fruit flies, the introduction of additional copies of the gene can significantly increase the life expectancy of a person, say, up to 120-140 years. Moreover, if today we put such people in the Book of Records Guinness, in the case of the creation of an elixir of youth based on a gene ahuizotl, such an age will become the norm, and champions are likely to will live up to two hundred or more years.
The name of the gene for youth was given in honor of the mythical Aztec character. This dog-like creature living in water protected lake inhabitants from the people whom it carried deep into pond.
