Researchers used AI to analyze genes and discovered that aging is caused by unbalanced genes.
Researchers have discovered a breakthrough in what causes people to age. The research team, from Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, found a previously unknown factor that leads to aging.
“The changes in the activity of genes are very, very small, and these small changes involve thousands of genes,” said, lead author of the study and a postdoc at Northwestern University. “We found this change was consistent across different tissues and in different animals. “There already seems to be something happening early in life, but it becomes more pronounced with age,” Stoeger said. “It seems that, at a young age, our cells are able to counter perturbations that would lead to an imbalance in gene activity. Then, suddenly, our cells are no longer able to counter it.”After studying the rodents and fish, the researchers began studying humans. They had more gene samples for humans than the other animals, leading to stronger results.
Researchers hope the study will help them develop therapies to slow or reverse aging in the future. The breakthrough study could also potentially lead to cures for neurodegenerative diseases.
