Forget the fountain of youth. Humble worm may hold a key to aging.Stanford University and his colleagues Yelena Budovskaya essentially proved that aging is written in the script to genetics – at least in a laboratory in which to live their lives without becoming a meal other animal.

ELT-3 gene was one of the aging genes important. When the ELT-3 resumed his pace slowed aging.

Team Budovskaya known that in humans and other mammals, aging has been demonstrated in response to DNA damage, and inflammation. The results do not change the worm, but the scientists write that will be interesting to see if changes in gene activity are part of the aging process. If so, that could lead to finding ways to modify the genetic script of aging.
