Summary:
The genetic basis of lifespan determination
is poorly understood. Most research has been done on short-lived animals, and
it is unclear if these insights can be transferred to long-lived mammals like
humans. By comparing genes of long- and short-lived rodents, researchers have
now identified several novel genes possibly influencing longevity and healthy
aging in mammals.
