Pathways That Extend Lifespan by 500 Percent Identified

Health Medicine Network · January 15, 2020

Scientists have identified pathways that extend lifespan by 500 percent. The increase in lifespan would be the equivalent of a human living for 400 or 500 years, according to one of the scientists.

Researchers Identify Cellular Pathways that Extend Lifespan by 500%

Technology.org · January 14, 2020

Working on C. elegans – a nematode worm commonly used in aging research due to its weeks-long lifespan and genetic similarities with humans – an international team of researchers from the U.S. and China have identified synergistic cellular pathways for longevity which can extend the host’s lifespan by as many as 500%.

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…

MDI Biological Scientists Identify Pathways That Extend Lifespan by 500 Percent

TerraDaily · January 13, 2020

Scientists at the MDI Biological Laboratory, in collaboration with scientists from the Buck Institute for Research 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 – ScienceAlert

Trending News Blog · January 12, 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. That’s much longer than we ever expected, and scientists working the problem think results such as these might help us to understand our own ageing process a little better.

Sunday Snippets: Scientists Discover Cellular Pathways They Say Could Extend Human Life to 500 Years

Daily Kos · January 12, 2020

Researchers at the MDI Biological Laboratory, the Buck Institute for Research on Aging, and Nanjing University in China found “synergistic cellular pathways for longevity” in C. elegans, a nematode worm used as a model in aging research.
