It should be noted that the last years of telomerase and telomerase go in the main candidates for the opportunity to influence the aging processes and create an elixir of rejuvenation and prolongation of life .

Among them were professors of American universities - Carol Grader , Elizabeth Blackburn and Jack Shostak .
One more result of the experiment conducted by the scientists of the Center for the Study of Intellectual Activity and the Brain at the University of California should be mentioned .
The purpose of the experiment was to reveal the influence of yoga and meditation on the aging process .
In particular , after a three-month course of meditation , almost all participants in the experiment noticeably increased the level of the telomerase enzyme necessary for telomere lengthening .
Thus , it can be concluded that meditation can help slow the biological aging process .
Apparently in a state of trance , a certain program is launched in the body that promotes the growth of hormone release , including those responsible for growth and reproductive efficiency .
Elizabeth Parrish - a woman who changed her genes .
It should be noted that the last years of telomerase and telomerase go in the main candidates for the opportunity to influence the aging processes and create an elixir of rejuvenation and prolongation of life .
Many Russian and foreign scientists consider telomerase the basis for the development of drugs that affect cellular immortality .
In October 2015 , a unique scientific experiment began on the possible activation of telomerase in the human body and its impact on the process of rejuvenation .
American researcher Elizabeth Parrish decided to test the newest method of rejuvenation of the human body , the ability of telomerase to increase the length of telomeres .
She agreed to be the first woman on earth for whom scientists artificially changed genes .
Elizabeth was born in 1971 in the USA . At the time of the experiment , she was 44 years old , married and had two children .
Elizabeth is a biologist by training , but she practically did not work in the specialty .
She is a private entrepreneur and earned her living by developing and selling software .
A turning point in her life came when her son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes . Then Elizabeth began to be interested in advanced medical technologies , invested in their development and implementation . And then she decided to test some of them on her body .
The experiment was organized by the scientific and medical company " Bioviva ", (" BioViva "), whose leadership includes Elizabeth and the International Alliance for Life Extension ( International Longevity Alliance ).
The scientific consultant of the project was Avi Roy , the Managing President of the Oxford Biogeontological Research Foundation .
During the experiment , the molecular cloning technology developed in the 1970s was used .
The essence of the method is that with the help of a certain set of enzymes it is possible to cut out of the DNA a necessary site - for example , the telomerase gene , which allows cells to divide endlessly .
At the first stage of the experiment , a genetic material was introduced into the vein of Elizabeth Parrish , which penetrates into the nucleus of each cell and initiates changes that stop the aging process and have a rejuvenating effect .
In the case of Elizabeth , this was the so-called adenoassociated virus ( AAV ), which was previously " cleaned ", that is , it is not able to tolerate various diseases .
In this virus was introduced a vector , that is , a DNA sequence that is embedded in the human genome . This vector has its characteristic features , peculiar markers . In case of successful insertion into the genome , they can be detected using biochemical analyzes .
