African Killifish: The Key to Reversing Aging?

African Killifish muscles go through a "Benjamin Button" process and start aging backwards, returning to an "early-life" state, which gives them an opportunity to slow their aging down and live longer. Researchers suggest that drugs involved in forming certain lipids may help humans produce age-defying muscles. The study is the first to use killifish to study age-related muscle loss and highlights the important role lipid metabolism plays in age-reversing effects.
