Researchers discover 2 Paths of Aging and new Insights on Promoting Healthspan

Yeast cells with the same DNA under the same environment show different structures of mitochondria (green) and the nucleolus (red), which may underlie the causes of different aging paths. Single and double arrowheads point to two cells with distinct mitochondrial and nucleolar morphologies.

Molecular biologists and bioengineers at the University of California San Diego have unraveled key mechanisms behind the mysteries of aging. They isolated two distinct paths that cells travel during aging and engineered a new way to genetically program these processes to extend lifespan.

Our lifespans as humans are determined by the aging of our individual cells...
