Researchers were able to increase the lifespan of yeast cells by more than 82 percent — and they believe that the same could be done to human cells.
Researchers from the University of California San Diego conducted a study to reprogram the cellular aging process.
Yeast cells have a transcriptional toggle switch that allows them to die in one of two ways: nucleolar decline or mitochondrial decay . However, the researchers were able to rewire the transcriptional switch into a negative-feedback loop, which caused the yeast cells to fluctuate between the two aging states — increasing their life span by 82%.
