#7 – Genetic engineering

According to scientists, it’s theoretically possible to "turn off" the genes responsible for the aging process and "turn on" genes of "youth", which will allow people to forget about the negative age diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, diabetes mellitus type 2, osteoporosis, and most cardiovascular diseases.
Scientists from Harvard and the University of New South Wales were able to do that with natural proteins and molecules, so far in mice. Led the study, Professor David Sinclair says that in the course of the experiment the animals introduced into the genes molecule NMN, which for just one week completely stopped the aging process in the muscles of laboratory rodents. Now researchers hope to develop a drug that can restore youth of human cells.
