Scientists Identify Core "Aging Genes" Shared Across Species. Silencing Them Extends Lifespan
Researchers publishing in Aging Cell have pinpointed a set of core genes that drive aging across multiple species, from humans to worms.
By analyzing 25 large gene expression datasets and testing the results in C. elegans, they found 6 key genes whose suppression extended lifespan by up to 15%.
These genes regulate immune activity, tissue maintenance, and DNA stability, and many are already linked to age related diseases like Alzheimerโs and macular degeneration.
The findings reveal universal aging mechanisms and new targets for anti aging therapies.
@Dr_Singularity@schellerlab@CiviRobyAc@zacharypincus@WashU_MRC@WUSTLmed@Aging_Cell One frequent comment here is about the strength of the lifespan extension (~15% or less) being relatively low. I agree! I did not maximize lifespan. I actually used quite a weak method of gene interference... just enough to confidently detect the signal I was looking for. 1/2

@rheum_cat@kristenyoung I honestly just don't know what else to do besides keep going to work. It can't be broken... I feel like I would be in way more pain... so I don't need an x-ray.... so.... I guess I just keep icing and RICEing when I'm home? I have my wonderful home RICE aid a.k.a. fiancรฉ๐โค๏ธ

@DrPujaMehta1 As tough as I like to think I am, I'm pretty sure I'd have been in too much pain to limp around on a single tylenol if it were broken... but feel free to weigh in!๐
... I successfully reached the nurse's station on our floor and asked for help getting some bandages and ice packs, and the nurses very kindly obliged.
While the team was occupied with hand-off, I quietly washed up, bandaged my hands, and iced my ankle, which looked okay...

... to be fair, I figured work is literally in a hospital, so it's not a bad choice of location if I develop a need for medical attention.
Fortunately, the asphalt dirt blended perfectly into my dark gray heather scrubs, so I didn't look alarming...
