Drugs could be designed to combat age-related illness and let humans live longer after researchers successfully ‘tweaked’ an anti-ageing enzyme in roundworms.
Researchers from KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology) were able to dial up and down creatures’ lifespans by altering protein activity levels.
