Aging Reimagined: How “Immortal” Jellyfish DNA Could Extend Human Life
scitechdaily.com
Two Eötvös Loránd University researchers have made an exciting breakthrough in understanding how we age. Researchers Dr. Ádám Sturm and Dr. Tibor Vellai from Eötvös Loránd University in Hungary have achieved a significant discovery in the study of aging. Their research centered on "transposable e

This study shows that in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, the downregulation of active TE families extends lifespan. These findings link DNA activity to aging and opens up new possibilities in medical and biological research for health improvement and age determination. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-023-40957- (open access)
