Why do people age? The decline in cell coordination is a result

a team of researchers at Israel's Bayran University recently completed a study that confirms a new theory of human aging that scientists put forward 15 years ago. The theory suggests that over time, it is cell coordination, not cellular function, that actually decreases in the body. The results of this research are expected to provide new ideas for the treatment of aging.The most common theory about aging is that over time, human cells undergo a "wear and tear" process. But the current findings suggest that the occurrence of significant cell damage does not have a complete consistency, but occurs randomly in a functional cell group, while the rest of the cells are not damaged.The question for the researchers is, if different types and groups of cells lose their function over time in different human bodies, why do everyone experience the same symptoms as they age? Such as hair whitening, skin wrinkles, overall function reduced.In response, Professor Jean Wijg, head of the Department of Genetics at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, offered his explanation 15 years ago. He believes that cell function declines appropriately with age, but not because of a major collapse of a single insefused cell, but because many cells lose the ability to regulate and coordinate genes.In a paper published earlier this month in Nature Metabolism, a team led by Dr. Amir Basan of the Department of Physics at Bayland University said they had confirmed Vijayg's theory with their research. The results not only pave the way for in-depth research into aging, but also help modify treatments for aging diseases.The team analyzed data collected from six different global laboratories that measured the level of coordination between cells in humans, mice and fruit flies as they age. They also focused on analyzing different brain cells and pancreatic cells. It turns out that as we age, the cells always lose their coordination completely. The researchers also noted that they observed increased levels of cell damage as the cells and their genes coordinated. Therefore, research on potential treatments should focus on removing highly damaged cells.Study team member Guy Amit said the evidence of cell coordination with their genes was surprising, but more importantly, it dropped sharply with age.
