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.
