Want to Live 400 Years? These Simple Nematode Worms Might Show Humans How

SyFyWire · January 14, 2020

In a new study published in the online journal Cell Reports, a team of international researchers has discovered methods to increase the lifespan of the lowly C. elegans worm by five times, long after its normal three or four week lifecycle. If these findings were successfully applied to human beings, that person would experience the equivalent of blowing out 400 birthday ca…
