Anti-Ageing Research

From TEDTalks, I watched a recent video of Dr. David Sinclair, co-Director of Glenn Laboratory for Ageing Research. After several years of research, Dr. Sinclair has isolated our body's ageing processes to the regulation of longevity genes in our cells. Chemicals known as sirtuins help to regulate these genes, which otherwise become chaotic over time, reducing our body's effectiveness to repair itself and maintain energy levels. Dr. Sinclair's work has led to a lot of skepticism, but several popular medicines based on his work are for sale on Amazon and elsewhere.
