This Monumental Breakthrough Could Turn the World Upside Down -- and Make Some Investors Filthy Rich
You might have heard the stories about Ponce de Leon's search for the fountain of youth. As it turns out, there's no evidence that the Spanish explorer actually embarked on such a search. The stories appear to be as mythical as the fountain of youth itself.
But the idea of restoring youth could be about to move from myth to reality. Scientists announced a monumental breakthrough last week that could turn the world upside down. And it just might make some investors filthy rich.
The conventional wisdom among scientists for years has been that DNA mutations over time cause aging. However, a team of scientists led by Harvard Medical School professor David Sinclair appears to have shown that epigenetic changes (chemical and structural changes that affect genes, but without DNA sequence alterations) could instead be an important -- and perhaps even primary -- cause of aging.
