They say that time cannot be stopped or returned, and people tend to grow old. Scientists have been looking for a recipe for immortality for several decades, or at least a way to slow down old age. There are certain successes in this, but why does nature sometimes fail and the body either slows down aging, otherwise the process goes backwards?
You've probably watched the interesting movie "The Mysterious Story of Benjamin Button"? The plot revolves around a hero who is born an old man and gradually begins to grow younger, and then completely turns into a child. Something similar can happen in reality, but only scientists do not yet know how to explain such a phenomenon.
An amazing story happened to a resident of Japan, who celebrated her birthday 19 years ago, then she turned 75 years old. Sei Senagon after a few weeks began to notice that her wrinkles began to smooth out, the gray hair disappeared, and then her hair began to look like in youth.
Some time later, she began to worry about pain in the gums and at the doctor's appointment she was told that new teeth began to form under the prosthesis. After a few months, the woman was no longer recognized and changes occurred almost every day.
The woman felt cheerful and decided to divorce her husband, with whom she spent quite a few years. She then married a young Japanese man and a few years later the media reported the couple had a child. Interestingly, most of the Japanese did not believe the Japanese woman and tried to explain the rejuvenation by plastic surgery, which, according to her, she had never done.
Scientists also became interested in history, who were able to find an unknown gene that updated all old cells with new ones. The reason for the activation of the gene is not yet clear, but if the rejuvenation does not stop, then the Japanese woman will gradually turn into a child, scientists say. But how is this possible?
It is interesting that such cases take place, but this happens extremely rarely!
