Irina Bochkis, PhD<\/a>, is an Assistant Professor in the Pharmacology Department at the\u00a0University of Virginia\u00a0School of Medicine.\u00a0Dr. Bochkis and her colleagues recently found a new discovery about the affects of aging in our cells. It was found that wrinkles in the nuclear membrane can prevent DNA from being expressed properly.\u00a0The new discovery\u00a0is groundbreaking because it\u00a0could allow doctors to cure or prevent diabetes, fatty liver disease and other metabolic disease, and make it\u00a0possible to turn back the clock on aging itself.
