"Discovery of Key Molecular Pathway Unlocks Aging Control"
New research on the roundworm species C. elegans has revealed that imbalances in RNA communication between cells and from the external environment can lead to a shortened lifespan, shedding light on the genetic regulation of aging. The study, conducted by scientists from the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in Brazil, demonstrates that disruptions in the transfer of RNA molecules can impact the organism's lifespan, providing insights into the aging process and associated diseases. The findings contribute to a better understanding of the intertissue signaling mechanism and its role in regulating lifespan.
