Genes that regulate both development and longevity in Caenorhabditis elegans.
The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans responds to conditions of overcrowding and limited food by arresting development as a dauer larva. Genetic analysis of mutations that alter dauer larva formation (daf mutations) is presented along with an updated genetic pathway for dauer vs. nondauer development. Mutations in the daf-2 and daf-23 genes double adult life span, whereas mutations in four other ...
متن کاملLipid and Alzheimer’s disease genes associated with healthy aging and longevity in healthy oldest-old
Several studies have found that long-lived individuals do not appear to carry lower numbers of common disease-associated variants than ordinary people; it has been hypothesized that they may instead carry protective variants. An intriguing type of protective variant is buffering variants that protect against variants that have deleterious effects. We genotyped 18 variants in 15 genes related to...
متن کاملAging and longevity genes.
The genetics of aging has made substantial strides in the past decade. This progress has been confined primarily to model organisms, such as filamentous fungi, yeast, nematodes, fruit flies, and mice, in which some thirty-five genes that determine life span have been cloned. These genes encode a wide array of cellular functions, indicating that there must be multiple mechanisms of aging. Nevert...
متن کاملDoes childhood personality predict longevity?
Key models relating personality and health predict that personality in childhood is indicative of later health and longevity. Longevity predictions are tested using data derived from the 7-decade longitudinal study initiated by L. M. Terman 1921 (L. M. Terman & M. H. Oden, 1947). Variables representing major dimensions of personality are used in statistical survival analyses of longevity in 1,1...
متن کاملImmunological Approaches for Healthy Longevity
As the body ages, the function of various organs changes, bringing sensory expression of “decline” into use, but the background of this phenomenon suggests a role for factors such as cumulative oxidative stress, hypoxia associated with circulatory failure, and lipid peroxidation. Age-related changes and aging are not related directly to passage of time, and the extent of changes differs dependi...
