Research has shown that aging in humans is caused by the termination of the polymer chains on every cell. From the point of conception, every cell has a polymer chain, and every time that cell divides the polymer chain divides with it. When the polymer chain cannot be divided any further, the cell is unable to regenerate. This is what causes aging as this is going on in millions of cells in the body. However, not too long ago a group of scientists believed that they had isloated an enzyme called polymerase that could potentially halt or reverse the breakdown of the polymer chain. This would stop aging, though not necessarily reverse it.

Carp don't age. It has something to do with they don't stop growing, but we're not sure how it works or if it can be applied to humans. Maybe DNA could be transplanted one day, but right now we don't even know how to work with our own DNA, so inter species stuff is FAAAAAAR down the road if it ever happens at all.

It can't be reversed because aging is the result of DNA breaking down each time it is replicated.

by nano robots there making. but its still a long way off. basitly they wan't the nanos to go in your body and fix any probling and make new parts for the body. for the nano robots can take elements out of the air. but there justr devolping that.

It has been slowed down with the combination of glyco, phyto -
nutrients and antioxidants.

No it can not be reversed, it is a natural process.

Nope. Technology is still too poor at this point.

No, and if we could, we wouldn't inject our faces with Botox and suck the fat out of our butts...
