A mixed research team from Harvard Medical School, Cornell Medical School and the National Institutes of Health, have found two genes in mammalian cells acting like real gatekeepers for cellular longevity. When certain kinds of condition, such as caloric restriction, stress longevity cells these genes rev up and start protecting cells from diseases of aging.
We’ve reason to believe now that these […]
