The secret to ageing appears to have been solved by British scientists, bringing new hope to sufferers of old age-related illnesses such as heart disease.

The international team of researchers based Newcastle University have reportedly unlocked the secret as to how and why living cells grow old by discovering the biochemical pathway involved in ageing.
The study, together with German experts from the University of Ulm, could lead to a “much better chance of making a successful attack on age-related diseases”.
The breakthrough could also offer an explanation as to why skin ages and provide hope that new drugs could be developed to tackle diseases such as heart disease and diabetes and remove unwanted side-affects from cancer.
They added, however, that it will unlikely provide an elixir of eternal life in the near future.
