A research team from thePerelman School of Medicine, Universityof Pennsylvania could be onto the next potential anti-aging breakthrough.A study they did, provedthat stem cells extracted from human fat cells could be effective in future anti-aging treatments.

In time, our bodys cells start to lose their regenerative capacity. This largely contributes to our natural ageing process. Stem cells have the potential to slow down or reverse this process, as they have the ability to regenerate and repair our cells. Currently, scientists are already using stem cells in a variety of anti-aging treatments.

FAST FACT: After years of research. Scientists now know that this is due to the shorteningof your DNAs telomeres, which are yourvitality blueprint, and they key to good health and beauty.Ifyou interested in learning more about your telomeres and how you age, follow this link.

The stem cells currently used in anti-aging treatments are usually collected from different tissues found in the adult body. However, this recently published study provesthat adult stem cells collected directly from human fat, called adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs), could be more effective

ASCs producemore proteins than they were originally thought to. This is important because it gives them the ability to hold their integrity when they replicate. Unlike most of your other cells.

Ivona Percec, MD, is the director of Basic Science Research in the Center for Human Appearance as well as this studys lead author. She shares the following, Our study shows these cells are very robust, even when they are collected from older patients.

Unlike other adult human stem cells, ASCs continue to replicate at the same pace throughout your entire life. Not only does it benefit possible future anti-aging treatments. But also to help scientists better understand and study natural aging.

As ASCs help regenerate your body from a cellularlevel. They can also open the door to possible help with the prevention or treatment of age-related diseases. This includes conditions such as Alzheimers, arthritis, type II diabetes and atherosclerosis.

Currently, scientists still need to do a lot more research and tests in order to prove the efficacy of ASCs. In order for FDA approval. We look forward to seeing what progress they make throughout theyear.
