The manipulation of stress response in the cells can help slow down aging
Scientists from Nanyang Technological University in Singapore (NTU Singapore), have discovered that the stress response, which is triggered by cells at an age after reproduction, can slow down aging.
Longevity. In experiments in the lab on a roundworm similar to humans, paging C. elegans, the NTU Singapore team discovered that feeding a high-glucose food diet to aged worms extended their life span compared with those fed a regular diet.
The NTU team published their findings today in Nature Communications. This is the first time that a link has been found between stress and aging.
