APTX 4869

Post by Tenken »

As Haibara had disclosed (in vol 37, I think), APTX reverts the body's aging process and eventually returns the body to a younger state.

I found it very similar to the so-called "telomerase therapy" that wome scientists have started working on (trying to increase telomere length), which - if successfully - will prolong human lifespan into several centuries!

The difference is that APTX reverts the aging process while Telomerase Therapy tries to slow it down.  But the outcome will be the same: human lifespan is prolonged.

So I think, Haibara had - accidentally, I guess - discovered the key to mankind's greatest dream: Eternity/longevity !

Lol!  I was thinking the same thing when I learned about telomerase therapy in the summer xDD.

Well if this is the case it's longevity, not eternity.  You can only do so much to stop the decay. 

I don't think so thought, APTX seems to reverse cell production or something o_o;.  Iunno.

For the record:  As our DNA replicates it gets shorter and shorter D: (decays).  The telemere is just referring to repetitive DNA at the end of the chromosome that protects out genes from eroding so quickly ^^.

Well, speaking about longevity, I think the one they tried on Vermouth was way better than APTX4869.

I don't think APTX was made for the immortality purpose though. Gin using it to kill Shinichi means that it was meant to kill. The shrinking seemed to be the adverse effect.

The BO might be interested in researching on this "adverse effect" though, so that they can shrink to kids and do crimes free from suspicion :P

So you were thinking about APTX when you learned about telomerase? LOL...
Me, I was thinking, "OMG this is sooooo cool!!! Hope it'll be finished within the next 10 years"... LOL

Omgosh you have no idea.  The prof who was teaching us looked like a cross between Haibara and Sharon (has Haibara's hair and has round glasses like Sharon) and I couldn't stop grinning though the lecture xDD.

You know you're addicted to DC when your teacher who's teaching you about telomeres reminds you of Haibara.

Off topic on DC but since you said your prof looked like an anime character, I couldn't resist not posting this hahahaaha.
My Chem teacher last year looks like Gosungkugi from Ranma 1/2. BTW my teacher's a girl. So if you know Gosungkugi, try imagining him as a girl. That's what my teacher looks like. Also the reason why I couldn't concentrate with the lessons >< rofl
thanks DCTP!!! ♥♥♥

I dont know whether this is off but I was wondering how much does the APTX 4869 shrink a person in regards to their age?

I know that Shinichi was 17 and he shrunk to 7, Haibara was 20? and she's also back to 7.

So, does this pill actually shrink a person to a particular age?

Anyone?

Well that's not the right way to think of it ^^.  Shinichi is 17, he just shrunk to someone who can be passed off as a 7 year old.  Same with Haibara

APTX shrinks people and make them look 10 years younger.
Shinichi is 17, but now he looks like he's only 7.
Haibara (Sherry) is 18 (NOT 20 ;D ) but now she looks 8.

Not even 80, she's 84. :o
Spoiler:
I actually still had doubts about her real age, until I saw episode 178. ;D

I don't think it's -10 years though that's also a popular theory.  Like I said before Conan and Haibara are "child shape persons" and not necessarily 7 and 8 years old xD.  The only reason why "Conan" is 7 is because when Ran asked him how old he almost said "17" and covered it up by saying he's "7" instead ;D.
