It seems that the formula for eternal youth is getting closer, if recently talked about a breakthrough in this regard related to hydras , now at the University of Michigan have discovered another technique that would potentially stop rejuvenate the cells of your body indefinitely.

The discovery in question is not related to the cells of your body directly, but with the surrounding material called extracellular matrix or ECM . Increasing the filling space around the cells that succeeded in older cells act as back to back young cells. It's that simple.

Scientists at the Department of Dermatology at the University of Michigan tested the technique on animals and the good news is that, to be successful, also found that it worked in humans and no known side effects at this time.

Specifically, proved to inject a substance that enhances the MEC in 21 volunteers octogenarians with the result that the skin becomes thickened and began to generate collagen and blood vessels spontaneously. Possibly the invention is not the fountain of youth by itself, but it seems that combining several techniques are appearing recently could start finding enough people with youthful age.
