Tl Aviv : 21 November 2020: There is nothing the human mind is not capable of achieving at its best if once they are determined and have gathered enough study and knowledge and worked properly they can get their aim done.
Tel Aviv University scientists have become successful in reversing the aging process of elderly persons. Tel Aviv University and Shamir medical center worked on elderly people with the help of oxygen therapy to reverse two key factors: telomers length, and senescent cells accumulation. The researchers found that a unique protocol of treatments with high-pressure oxygen in a pressure chamber can reverse two major processes associated with aging and its illnesses: the shortening of telomeres (protective regions located at both ends of every chromosome) and the accumulation of old and malfunctioning cells in the body.
Focusing on immune cells containing DNA obtained from the participants' blood, the study discovered a lengthening of up to 38% of the telomeres, as well as a decrease of up to 37% in the presence of senescent cells. For many years, our team has been engaged in hyperbaric research and therapy—treatments based on protocols of exposure to high-pressure oxygen at various concentrations inside a pressure chamber," Professor Efrati explains. "Our achievements over the years included the improvement of brain functions damaged by age, stroke, or brain injury.
The researchers exposed 35 healthy individuals aged 64 or over to a series of 60 hyperbaric sessions over 90 days. Dr. Hadanny adds. "But in our study, only three months of HBOT were able to elongate telomeres at rates far beyond any currently available interventions or lifestyle modifications. With this pioneering study, we have opened a door for further research on the cellular impact of HBOT and its potential for reversing the aging process."
