For years, scientists have found that hypothalamus in our brain is responsible for controlling growth, metabolism, and reproduction. The latest research discovered that hypothalamus also has an important function to regulate aging. Furthermore, with the right treatment, we can slow down and even reverse the aging process.
This finding is a big leap in combating age-related diseases such as cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, hypertension, and Alzheimer. A team of scientists from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine has discovered that neural stem cells in hypothalamus are the cells that directly affect aging.
Hypothalamus in our brain regulates our nervous system and controls major body functions, including metabolism, reproduction and growth hormone. Unfortunately, when we grow older, the neural stem cells in our hypothalamus slowly disappear. As a result, we suffer a decline in our memory capacity, cognitive function, strength, endurance, and muscle coordination. In the research, scientists tried to find a way to rejuvenate neural stem cells in the hypothalamus.
