Mild dietary stress promotes healthier aging in worms
Riportato dall'IA
Researchers at the University of Basel have discovered that specific RNA molecules in nematodes' diets trigger a mild stress response that enhances cellular health and extends healthspan. This process prevents toxic protein buildup associated with aging and diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. The findings, published in Nature Communications, suggest diet influences how well organisms age.
