An RNA-cutting enzyme supports longer life in worms
A screen of 71 worm genes identified an enzyme that makes an RNA fragment needed for lifespan extension, including from dietary restriction.A screen of 71 worm genes identified an enzyme that makes an RNA fragment needed for lifespan extension, including from dietary restriction.
Worm studyMechanisms
Who was studiedCaenorhabditis elegans worms, against worms with normal DIS-3 activity
What changedWorms with reduced DIS-3 activity lived shorter lives than worms with normal activity
The catchAdding more DIS-3 did not extend lifespan in normal worms
