Scientists Dramatically Extend Cell Lifespan in Anti-Aging
Breakthrough
"Scientists have achieved a significant breakthrough in the effort to slow the
aging process with a novel technique that increased the lifespans of yeast
cells by a whopping 82 percent, reports a new study.
By programming cells to constantly switch between two aging pathways,
researchers were able to prevent them from fully committing to either
deteriorative process, a method that nearly doubled the lifespan of the cells.
In other words, rather than the entire cell aging at once, the aging process
was toggled between different physical parts of the organism, extending its
life. This synthetic “toggle switch” offers a potential roadmap toward
treatments that could one day extend human longevity, though that future
is highly speculative at this time."
