A new discovery that may keep you young forever
It seems that the term forever young is no longer a myth or a hard-to-reach dream, and it may be repeated a lot soon. A recent study, the results of which were published in the journal Nature, revealed that the Cool 17A1 protein may play a major role in combating skin aging.
These experiments included the tails of mice with characteristics similar to those of human skin.
Aging and exposure to ultraviolet radiation weaken this protein, allowing the weakened cells to multiply. Skin becomes saggy, wrinkled, and scars difficult to heal.
Also, scientists who are aware of the importance of “Cool 17 A1” in maintaining the freshness of the skin have sought to stimulate this protein to reduce its fading, which helps to fight against aging of the skin and keep it young forever.
They isolated two chemicals and tested them on cells. And the study stated that "this experience helped to heal wounds significantly."
The supervisors of this research considered that these two compounds would allow to find a way to “facilitate the renewal of skin cells and reduce wrinkles.”
But it is necessary to conduct more studies on the mechanism of cellular competition on other types of tissues to identify compounds capable of anti-aging, according to what was stated in a comment attached to this study. Will the dream of forever young skin become a reality?
