Scientists Successfully Transfer Longevity Gene, Paving the Way for Extending Human Lifespan

Scientists have long studied unusually long-lived animals for clues to aging, but applying those insights has been difficult. Now, researchers report that inserting a single naked mole rat gene into mice extended lifespan and improved health. Researchers at the University of Rochester have taken a bold step in “exporting” longevity biology from one mammal to [...]
