Chúng ta có một tin tốt và một tin xấu

giun móc có thể giúp ta 'chống lão hóa'...
-----

Being infected (tiêm nhiễm, đầu độc) with proteins derived from parasitic helminths (giun sán), like hookworms (giun móc) and whipworms, may prevent heart disease (bệnh tim), dementia (mất trí nhớ) and other life threatening conditions.

And it could help fight inflammation (sưng, viêm) and ward off (ngăn chặn) age related illnesses.

The worms, which once lived harmlessly in our intestines, have largely disappeared from westerners due to our modern lifestyles, including good sanitation.

But lead author Bruce Zhang, a biology student at University College London's Institute of Healthy Ageing, said the loss of our “old friends” may be linked to increases in ageing-associated inflammation.
