Breakthrough in Understanding Aging Process Unveiled by Researchers

Researchers from the University of Cologne have discovered that gene transcription becomes faster but more sloppy and less precise with age, which could potentially lead to cancer. However, a healthy diet or caloric restriction intervention could improve the quality of transcription and have beneficial effects for cells in the long run. The findings help researchers better understand ageing and interventions, opening up new opportunities for delaying or expanding healthy ageing.
