Slowing down the aging process by ‘remote control’

Summary

UCLA biologists have identified a gene that can slow the aging process throughout the entire body when activated remotely in key organ systems.

The research, published Sept. 4 in the open-source journal Cell Reports, could have important implications for delaying aging and disease in humans, said David Walker, an associate professor of integrative biology and physiology at UCLA and senior author of the research.
