Slowing Rate Of Aging In Worm Study Sheds Light On Human Aging, Inherited Diseases
Microscopic worms used for scientific research are living longer despite cellular defects, a discovery that is shedding light on how the human body ages and how doctors could one day limit or reverse genetic mutations that cause inherited diseases, according to a new University of Colorado at Boulder study.In the first formal study of its kind, researchers manipulated the metabolic state of genetically engineered lab worms called C.
