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.
The enzyme ‘tweaked’ by researchers allows roundworms to convert sugar into energy when cellular energy is running low – the team found a way to ‘control it’.
Humans also ha…
