Description: Šta kontroliše starenje? Biohemičarka Sintija Kenjon je pronašla jednostavnu genetsku mutaciju koja može udvostručiti životni vek jednostavne gliste, C. elegans. Pouka ovog i drugih istraživanja nam ukazuje kako da jednog dana značajno produžimo mladalački ljudski život.

A single gene mutation in tiny C. elegans worms can double their lifespan, while leaving them healthy and active. Research reveals that hormone pathways, similar to those controlling insulin in humans, directly influence how quickly we age. People with certain genetic variants, found more often in centenarians, show hints that these same mechanisms impact human longevity. By targeting these genes and proteins, scientists are exploring ways to delay both aging and the diseases that come with it.
