Mitofusin activators extend life in nematode worms
Research shows MTR4 reduces vascular cellular senescence in mammals, while mitofusin activators extend lifespan in nematodes.
- Field
- ageing and longevity
- What they did
- Researchers found that mitofusin activators extend the lifespan of nematode worms, while MTR4 inhibitors reduce vascular cellular senescence in mammals.
- Why it matters
- These findings could help develop methods to combat age-related diseases by controlling aging mechanisms through mitochondrial and cellular senescence intervention.
