4 00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:09,440 It's about extending those healthy years, 5 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:11,760 the ones where you can actually enjoy life. 6 00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,500 And that's where this new research is on a molecule called, 7 00:00:14,500 --> 00:00:16,920 get this, IL-11 comes in. 8 00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:18,840 Okay, so IL-11, interesting. 9 00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:21,680 But before we even get into the nitty gritty, 10 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:25,120 why should we even care about this whole IL-11 thing? 11 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:26,640 Well, you know how chronic inflammation 12 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:28,960 is kind of a big deal as we age? 13 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,080 It's a slow burn that just contributes 14 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,240 to all those age-related issues. 15 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,160 Well, this research is saying that IL-11 16 00:00:35,160 --> 00:00:37,480 might be one of the main culprits behind it, 17 00:00:37,480 --> 00:00:38,800 that harmful inflammation. 18 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:40,980 So IL-11 is like the instigator, 19 00:00:40,980 --> 00:00:42,760 the troublemaker in the back of the classroom 20 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:44,880 stirring up inflammation in our bodies. 21 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:46,160 Aha, that's a great analogy. 22 00:00:46,160 --> 00:00:47,000 Yeah. 23 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:48,280 So this study, they were looking at mice 24 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,040 and they found that as those mice aged, 25 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,760 their IL-11 levels just shot up. 26 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:55,120 And not just in one place, 27 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:56,560 but across a bunch of different tissues, 28 00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,000 liver, fat, even muscle tissue. 29 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,260 Okay, so mice, interesting. 30 00:01:01,260 --> 00:01:02,760 But mice aren't humans, 31 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:04,840 so why should we be excited about this? 32 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:05,720 So here's the thing. 33 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:07,360 Mice actually share a surprising amount 34 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:08,800 of their biology with us, 35 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:10,240 especially when we're talking about aging. 36 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,120 And what really got the scientists going 37 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:13,520 was they found a strong link 38 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,280 between high IL-11 levels in those mice 39 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,140 and some of the telltale signs of aging, 40 00:01:18,140 --> 00:01:21,480 things like cellular senescence and metabolic decline. 41 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:22,820 Cellular, what now? 42 00:01:22,820 --> 00:01:24,400 Senescence. 43 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,200 Just picture your cells like a well-oiled machine. 44 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:28,400 They're constantly dividing, 45 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,680 doing their thing to keep your body running. 46 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,560 But as we get older, some of those cells, 47 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,080 they kind of go a little haywire. 48 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:38,280 Enter this grumpy retirement phase, if you will. 49 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,680 They stop dividing, but they don't just sit there quietly. 50 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,080 Instead, they start pumping out harmful stuff 51 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,040 that damages the surrounding tissues. 52 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,640 Oh no, so instead of useful stuff, 53 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,740 they're churning out toxic waste. 54 00:01:49,740 --> 00:01:50,600 Not ideal. 55 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:51,440 Exactly. 56 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:55,160 And this research is suggesting that IL-11 is involved 57 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,040 in both making more of these grumpy cells 58 00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,360 and making their negative effects even worse. 59 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,140 Okay, so IL-11, not our friend, got it. 60 00:02:02,140 --> 00:02:04,500 But I have a feeling this is where the research 61 00:02:04,500 --> 00:02:06,440 takes a turn for the hopeful, right? 62 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,680 Tell me they found a way to stop this IL-11 troublemaker. 63 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:10,640 They did, they did. 64 00:02:10,640 --> 00:02:12,580 The researchers actually tested two different ways 65 00:02:12,580 --> 00:02:15,780 to kind of put the brakes on IL-11 in these mice. 66 00:02:15,780 --> 00:02:17,120 Okay, I'm all yours. 67 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,000 So in one group of mice, 68 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,200 they used some pretty high-tech genetic wizardry 69 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,120 to remove the gene that's responsible 70 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:26,880 for making IL-11 in the first place. 71 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,820 Gotcha, so they basically just edited out 72 00:02:29,820 --> 00:02:31,520 the troublemaker from the start. 73 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:32,360 Exactly. 74 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,080 Okay, what about the second group?
