辛希亞‧凱尼恩: 為延長壽命提供線索的實驗

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.
