A scientist from the Institute of cell Biophysics RAS, who will check for yourself the technology, tested on animals, lies on the operation to stem cells
On Thursday in one of the Moscow clinics was scheduled for surgery, long term effects which can change our understanding of the possibilities of the human organism, biophysicist Alex Karnaukhov puts on a experiment that will prolong his life. Previously, he has achieved successful results in laboratory animals. The scientist told “Izvestia” that in the last moment in his blood found high blood sugar, so the operation was postponed for a few days. Alexey Karnaukhov pass another examination, after which will be assigned the exact date of the collection of stem cells.
Recall that in September, the scientist told “Izvestia” about the successful experiments on mice in which rodents began to live 34% longer, and that he is willing to be the first person who will begin testing the technology of rejuvenation and prolongation of life itself. According to Karnaukhova, aging is associated with a continuous process of damage accumulation in the DNA of each of the cells in our body. And he believes that it is necessary to fix the genetic errors that accumulate in the cells of the body over the years, and to slow down the process of their accumulation.
You can do this in a fairly simple way to retrieve a set of human stem cells in a relatively young age, and then place it in the Cryobank. And years later again to transplant these cells into an already aged body.
By itself, the procedure of obtaining bone marrow cells is not unique. And runs for a relatively short time — discharged patient can the next day. Such manipulation is, in particular, in the treatment of cancer. Just for the purposes stated Biofizika, the fence is the first time.
— An experiment not to donate bone marrow, and that in 10 years back to introduce these cells into the body and see what happens — said Karnaukhov.
For doctors it could be an experiment except that the technology plan. Subsequently, they will know how best to organize everything if followed Karnaukhov at the hospital pulled all of those wishing to extend the life. After all, a scientist, sees its mission not only benefits themselves but also the opportunity to “pave the way” for the rest.
— I’m almost 55 years, and this is an extreme age for a donor. It is clear that my method is still not completely proven, but if you sit and wait until this happens, precious time will be spent in our cells are constantly accumulating new errors. The very same procedure of collecting bone marrow for risk and danger to life can be compared to cosmetic surgery. Of course, anything can happen, but for doctors it is rather routine, certified, and in no time the operation, he added.
The name of the Moscow clinics, where lies a scientist, Karnaukhov calls, “not to create unnecessary hype.” We only know that the relevant agreements had been prepared for several months, the hospital was a special agreement. Surgery to cells in the bone marrow — not a cheap pleasure, recognized the future patient, but the exact amount is also yet to name wants.
Close Alexey Karnaukhov react to the upcoming event with the understanding, and the wife does work with her husband in the same lab and will be with him in the house.
It is — of course a little bit, he says, can wait, better to be prepared, but in General supports, he adds.
Colleagues are also positive. Everyone wonders what will happen when once again will introduce a more young cells, which up to this point will be stored in the special cryo-Depositary (cell Bank).
According to the theory Karnaukhova, after the re-operation introduced stem cells will replace the older one. And 65 years — the estimated age reverse transplant — a scientist will look at 55 the age of the fence of bone material. If he passed the material 35 or 25 years, and would look later on the 35 and 25.
Another interesting detail — cell 55-year-old man Karnaukhov should look and feel as 65, 75, 85, etc “until the transplanted cells function”, it should look about the same.
The scientist also expects to spend at least 10 years longer than we have lived without proper procedures.
The chances of successful completion of the experiment Alexey Karnaukhov greatly appreciated. That rejuvenation and increase of life will occur in varying degrees, it is sure to 95-97%. Failure can only be associated with some tragic accidents in cryostorages the accident happens, the cell material is lost, the doctor will break the flask, etc.
