New drug promises to prevent premature aging

An international research team has created a drug that can help patients suffering from diseases that cause accelerated aging.

Scientists at northwestern University (USA) and Japanese researchers have conducted a number of studies that have identified a protein that plays a key role in the physiological processes of aging. In further experiments the team of scientists has conducted successful treatment of the mice with signs of accelerated aging in the form of atherosclerosis, osteoporosis and neurogenerative diseases. In experimental rodents increased life expectancy.

The researchers hope that this method can be used to treat people with diseases such as HIV, diabetes, kidney disease, and also to reduce the effects of aging from Smoking.
