If I tell you, humans may rejuvenate themselves with cancer cells in the future, do you believe it? At some point in the future, the rich will live forever, and the poor will die of old age.
In ancient my country, Qin Shihuang can be regarded as the first king who pursues immortality. His failed case in seeking immortality was almost naked by later generations. Of course, whether he had successfully achieved immortality? I guess in this matter, Zhao Gao has the most say.
In March 2022, an article published by the Salk Institute of Biology in California, USA mentioned: Humans are expected to use a transcription factor called mountain factor to achieve the purpose of delaying aging and rejuvenation, and this mountain factor still comes from cancer cells. If Qin Shihuang knew about this scientific project, he would probably regret why he had not been born two thousand years later.

Of course, compared with Qin Shihuang, the world's richest man Jeff Bezos is much lucky. Not only is he rich enough to take a spaceship to travel in a spacecraft (the whole journey is 10 minutes), but also to study the art of immortality, spent 3 billion yuan in 2021 to establish the Institute of Immortality . The outstanding performance of the mountain factor is now a great news for Jeff Bezos.
So, don’t say that there is no place to spend money, poverty limits our imagination.
transcription factor
So if you want to understand why this mountain factor is so powerful, we must first know what is a transcription factor.
During the human study of genes, thousands of transcription factors were discovered. The differences in the functions and characteristics of these transcription factors also determine that the contents of the selected genes expressed in their during the transcription of are different.
For example, HSF transcription factor plays a crucial role in improving plant heat tolerance memory . What if the temperature around a plant rises? At this time, the transcription factor held the notebook and said: Why has the temperature increased recently? Then choose some heat-resistant abilities from the genome to express them, so that you can continue to survive.
So the transcription factor is different from gene replication, but the with stronger adaptability is selected to express .
HSF transcription factor
For example, can increase the life of mice by 28% FOXM1. This transcription factor can improve the symptoms of premature aging in mice and make mice with premature aging live for a few more days . Although for mice, prolonging their lifespan means suffering from more than a few days of human experiments, can we say in disguise that this transcription factor is indeed a bit aiding.
Mountain factor
So what is the mountain factor?
mountain factor is a general term for four factors among many transcription factors. The reason why is called Yamaaka factor is named after their discoverer, Yamaakashi Shinoya . They were discovered in 2006, during which time, Yamanaka Factor also made many contributions to science.

The FOXM1 transcription factor mentioned earlier can already prolong the life of premature aging mice. It can be said that it is very powerful, but mountain factors are more powerful than it. Compared with extending cell lifespan , mountain factors can directly reverse the aging state, let the cell genes be revitalized and return to 18, which can extend the life of mice by 30%.
In March this year, a researcher at the Salk Institute of Biology, California, USA, , used the mechanism of action of mountain factors to interfere with the brain cells of elderly mice , and also helped the mice to charge the elderly and color-depleted brain cells successfully. reversed the aging state and achieved the purpose of prolonging life. and even the mountain factor provide super energy to young mice, making their muscles stronger and more energetic. isn't this genetically modified mice.
Good news: The mountain factor can make us rejuvenate
If we regard our DNA as a blueprint of life, during the use day and night, it is gradually covered with a layer of dust . This layer of dust is the methylation of DNA , making some genetic information that was originally seen very clearly become blurred and is interpreted in reverse, and even some useful information is lost and cannot be expressed.
This is a process in which humans gradually move towards aging. The more methylation is covered in the gene, the more cells tend to age until the cells die. However, mountain factor seems to be an dust collector , which can wipe away dust from certain specific locations on the blueprint. allows the cell gene to regain the memory of the youth, thus giving the body a new vitality.
Bad news: We have no blessings to absorb
So if this factor is used on people, can it also make people rejuvenate and prolong their lives? If it was really that simple, I guess even if Qin Shihuang failed back then, he would not have died suddenly.
Scientists found that the body of mice cannot withstand the continuous effects of mountain factors. Within the limit of the mice, it needs to be treated every five days. The treatment time is two days, which means that uses mountain factors to rejuvenate and return to childhood for 7 days. If this limitation is not followed, the mouse is very likely to die directly on the experimental bench.
Currently, in the field of pursuing immortality, there is a seemingly ridiculous but very reasonable saying: In fact, human genes have long tried to live forever, that is cancer cells. It is just that the human body is difficult to resist the infinite division of cancer cells, so it is not that humans cannot obtain immortality, but that they have no blessings to live for.
In view of the current research progress, scientists also made bold statements: This research on immortality can deliver an answer that satisfies both humans in 2029 through the Shanzhong Factor. Will
succeed? The quota of players participating in the Immortal Game are always held in the hands of those rich people. There are many rich people, but there are not many rich people who can get
But if it can be successful, it will surely break the gradual development of human beings, and there will be no fairness in life. The rich will live forever, and the poor will die of old age. The world will always be in the hands of the strong.
Of course, it is somewhat fantasy to let the human body break through the threat of cancer cells in just 7 years. If you want humans to withstand the power of mountain factors, you should first study how to strengthen people to the point where they can dance with cancer cells.
