He also reported that when the hypothalamus starts aging, so does the body.“So when hypothalamus function is in decline, particularly the l

36、oss of hypothalamus stem cells, and this protection against the aging development is lost, it eventually leads to aging.”Using this information, the researchers began trying to activate (激活) or energize the hypothalamus in laboratory mice. They did this by injecting (注射) the animals with stem cells.

37、 Later, the researchers examined tissues and tested for changes in behavior. They looked for changes in the strength of the animals muscles. They also studied the social behavior and cognitive (认知) ability of the mice.The researchers say the results show that the treatment slowed aging in the animal

38、s. Cai says injecting middle-aged mice with stem cells from younger mice helped the older animals live longer.These findings could lead to new ways to help doctors identify and treat any number of health issues concerning aging problems. If the mice can live longer, does that mean people could have
