New automated measurement system to assess healthy lifespans using nematodes – News-Medical.net
A research group from Kumamoto University (Japan) has developed an automated measurement system to assess healthy lifespans using nematodes (C. elegans).
A research group from Kumamoto University (Japan) has developed an automated measurement system to assess healthy lifespans using nematodes (C. elegans). Based on qualitative differences in lifespans, this system can classify populations of nematodes that are, on average, healthy and long-lived, healthy and die prematurely, and living with long periods of poor health.
Since there are many similarities between the mechanisms that determine the lifespan of C. elegans and humans, the researchers believe…
