A group of scientists in Beijing (China) assures to have shortage the source of eternal youth , because according to his own words they realized that the Gene p16 is the main person in charge of the aging of the human cells and now already they know how to delay the cellular degeneration through the inhibition of this gene, which is a point important and a great advance to prolong the life of the human beings.

In declarations to the local press, doctors Tong Tangjun and Zhang Zongyu, heads of the scientific equipment responsible for the finding, explained that the gene P16 controls the life of the cells when exerting a function of `cellular biological clock `.

In addition, the experts have demonstrated that it is possible to prolong the life of a cell inhibiting the functions of the gene, and so the one of the human being is delayed to the cellular degeneration, consequently, and also.

Professor Tong emphasized in addition who the studies on the cellular aging are key to prevent and to cure the geriatrical diseases and is addition that his `investigation has tried, like minimum, that the duration of the life of some human cells can be regulated by means of the recombination of ADN'.

There are Qide, member of the Academy of Sciences of China, has declared that this discovery supposes a great advance in the investigation of the mechanisms of the aging and `has laid a new way for the scientific community at the time of deciphering the secret of the degeneration of the human cells.
