we could metamorphose the fiction of Franz Kafka and point out that the only thing worse than being fly is being fly and living twice as long. So put down that flyswatter and read what all the buzz is about. But thats narrowminded. They used transposons, movable hunks of DNA that, like spies with radios, [...]
However, the scientists did not study enough of these patient samples to say how important the gene is in these cancers.

Those are experiments were actively collaborating on, said Siler Panowski, graduate student in Dillins laboratory. But its not clear whether it acts specifically on the biochemical pathway of dietary restrictionone of three separate pathways known to affect longevity, Dillin said. elegans genes are similar to those of humans, researchers study the functions of such genes [...]
The researchers speculate that it be possible that single longevity gene buffers against diseasecausing genes, which would open the way to developing new therapies that would mimic the activity of that gene. The Einstein researchers are expanding their longevity research, using highthroughput technology to go beyond the genetic markers involved in this study. Theyre looking [...]
The researchers also hope to understand why those particular genes help people live longer. If anything, were trying to find the fountain of youth. The results pointed to particular region along chromosome as the section of the human genome likely to contain the genetic material that predisposes an unusually long life. Perls said there would [...]
