The British newspaper The Daily Mail reported about an amazing experiment. The result was called a sensation. But he looked like pure fantasy
Allegedly, while excavating a mammoth in Yakutia, a group of scientists from Japan, the United States and Russia - those who are going to clone the furry giant - stumbled upon frozen bacteria unknown to science. We warmed them up, multiplied them. And injected into laboratory mice. The mice not only got younger, but also turned into sex giants.
“Some elderly animals showed an increase in physical, mental and sexual activity, and some females gave birth to offspring at an age equivalent to 70 years in humans,” the newspaper cites the conclusions of the Tyumen Scientific Center experts who conducted the experiment. And he calls the miracle bacteria "prehistoric Viagra." Is this a prank?
The mouse, which was injected with "mammoth bacteria", became a sex giant. “We really believe that the detected bacterium is capable of prolonging the period of human sexual activity,” says the head of the research, Professor, Doctor of Geological and Mineralogical Sciences Anatoly Brushkov. - Yes, and life, I guess. At least the results of testing on mice and insects give hope for this.
SEX UNDER 100
As Brushkov told us, excavations were carried out in the area of the Yakut river Aldan - on the so-called Mammoth Mountain. It is literally strewn with not only the remains of these giants, but also woolly rhinos, saber-toothed tigers and cave lions. There, frozen bacteria were found in the permafrost layer.
“They were“mothballed”by a sharp cold snap, which happened about 20 thousand years ago,” explains Andrey Subbotin, a participant in the excavation, Candidate of Biological Sciences. - In response, the bacteria have developed so-called cryoprotectants - substances that protect the body from freezing.

The bacteria themselves are from 3 to 5 million years old, scientists believe. But, despite their advanced age, microorganisms, getting into the heat, began to multiply rapidly. And then someone came up with an idea: to inject "long-livers" into the blood of mice and see what happens. So, purely by chance, a sensation was born.
“The vaccination had a particularly beneficial effect on old and weakened animals,” says Lyudmila Kalenova, Doctor of Biological Sciences. - They grew bolder, their muscle strength, intelligence and sexual activity increased rapidly.
It is estimated that bacteria from the permafrost - these contemporaries of mammoths - have prolonged the life of laboratory animals by an average of 20 percent. Keeping them almost to death the ability to take action. For people, this would be expressed in the desire and ability to have a sex life at about 100 years of age.
Scientists would like to understand how bacteria have a beneficial effect. And they continue their research together with colleagues from the Russian Academy of Sciences.
“We have in our hands an almost immortal living being,” says Professor Brushkov. - It is possible that this is exactly the form of life that came to Earth from other worlds …

The secret of naked mole rats
A person with metabolic processes, like a naked mole rat, would live up to 800 years
Scientists are shocked by the wonders of longevity that are demonstrated by naked mole rats, or, in a scientific way, Heterocephalus glaber. In fact, they are something like moles. Only without wool. They live underground in Africa. The size of a mouse. And they live for almost 30 years. A kind of Duncan Macleodas. Compared to mice, of course, which are barely 3 years old. If a person had the health of a naked mole rat, he would live up to 800 years. Almost like the biblical Adam.
Recently, researchers led by Rochelle Buffenstein from the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio studied the metabolic processes of an underground animal. But they did not really understand them. They only realized that the proteins of underground mole rats practically do not change throughout their lives. And they are not damaged by free radicals. But these radicals are considered to be almost the main culprits of aging. They say they oxidize tissues, cells, spoil DNA, gradually rendering the whole organism unusable.
Underground mole rats were twice as vulnerable to oxidative processes as mice. But they age 10 times slower. Why is this happening? This is a riddle, having solved which it would be possible to significantly extend the life of a person and surpass in this sense underground excavators who live in much worse conditions. Worse than on the subway.
