Cellular & Anti-aging Biology

Biotechnology Kiosk · February 18, 2020

This article provides commentary on a recent paper whose authors include MDI Biological Laboratory scientists Jarod Rollins, Ph.D., and Aric Rogers, Ph.D., that identifies synergistic cellular pathways for longevity that amplify lifespan fivefold in C. elegans, a nematode worm used as a model in aging research.

MDI Biolab Grant Adds to Model Animal Roster

Mount Desert Islander · February 6, 2020

The MDI Biological Laboratory has received a $75,000 donation grant from The Cotswold Foundation that will add the African turquoise killifish (Nothobranchius furzeri) to its growing roster of animal models, thus strengthening the institution’s longstanding tradition of engaging in comparative research to gain an understanding of the mechanisms involved in aging and regeneration.

Synergistic Cellular Pathways Identified That Extend Lifespan by 500%

SciTechDaily · February 5, 2020

Scientists at the MDI Biological Laboratory, in collaboration with scientists from the Buck Institute forResearch on Aging in Novato, Calif., and Nanjing University in China, have identified synergistic cellular pathways for longevity that amplify lifespan fivefold in C. elegans, a nematode worm used as a model in aging research.

Scientists Find Mechanism That Extends Worm Lifespans by 500 Percent

Microsoft News · January 26, 2020

A few simple genetic changes is all it takes to prolong a worm’s life span by 500 percent, a new study has found.

Advances in Quest for Immortality

The Guardian · January 23, 2020
Scientists have made giant strides in the quest for immortality. They have identified synergistic cellular pathways for longevity that amplify lifespan fivefold in Caenorhabditis elegans, a nematode worm used as a model in ageing research.

Pathways That Extend Lifespan by 500 Percent Identified

Free Republic · January 21, 2020

Scientists have identified synergistic cellular pathways for longevity that amplify lifespan fivefold in C. elegans, a nematode worm used as a model in aging research. The increase in lifespan would be the equivalent of a human living for 400 or 500 years, according to one of the scientists.

Biological Pathways Which Boost Lifespan Identified

Digital Journal · January 17, 2020
Biologists have identified pathways which could extend lifespan by 500 percent. The finding, connected to cellular mechanisms. may pave the way for new and more effective anti-aging therapies.

MDI Biological Laboratory Will Use African Turquoise Killifish Model to Study Aging

BioPortfolio · January 16, 2020

The study of therapies and interventions to expand healthy human lifespan has been limited by a lack of animal models: traditional vertebrate models such as the mouse live too long to get rapid results, while the most popular model, a roundworm called C.elegans that lives for only three weeks, is rungs away from humans on the evolutionary ladder.
