What if the human bodies won’t get old as the age increase year by year? In the ancient times, many wealthy people with power cost a lot to find the so called medicine which can let them live as long as they want, like the kings in Europe and the Emperors in Orient. The medicine they had taken was more like a kind of healthy product, but can’t play a significant role to keep them young and live longer. Nowadays, there are many anti-aging products, which can only keep the body healthier and younger by meeting a certain nutrition lack, but will not change the body in a biological level. However, at present it is possible to develop a kind of drug against the shut down of body with the increase of age according to the recent researches on rats. And the the matter working to recover the aged somatic function is ALK5 Kinase Inhibitor( Activin Receptor-Like Kinase Inhibitor), a kind of inhibitor involved in growth control in normal and diseased states. It is of the ability to transform the growth of cells making the old muscle and brain tissue back to the vigorous state, thus can recover the somatic appearance and function to a younger stage.
The research involved scientists said that a single molecule can be used to renovate the basic function of both brain tissue and muscle, and it works for any kind of brain tissue and muscle, which eliminates the necessity of using different molecule to restore the parts with different somatic mechanism. Bodies’ mechanism decreases also because that there will be no new stem cells to replace the ones out of rigor.
ALK5 kinase inhibitor also can targets these failing adult stem cells and repair them into a functional state. It’s quite promising to develop a new drug applying ALK5 kinase inhibitor for the rejuvenation of old aged outlook and mechanism of bodies in the near future. People who enjoy the youthful state of lives will benefit a lot from the fruit of the research, and with further significance, the new advance can be applied into many other aspect of biology to find more cures for complicated diseases, saving more people from the desperate situation and restart their healthy lives.
All in all, the new finding is a great gift to the whole society. But still, the research for the new drug is in its very early stage, and much effort needed to be paid, but it won’t be too far for people to make advantage of this new finding.
