Canadian scientists studied nematode worms and found genes for youth.
Research has shown that the parasitic nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans has genes involved in cell renewal and detoxification. For this reason, scientists have identified these genes as responsible for youth.
The accumulation of toxins and the indifference of these genes provokes the process of aging and withering of cells, writes Sandpiper with reference to the journal Aging Cell.
An analysis of the worms’ genome using toxic substances in the form of cadmium and acrylamide showed that they cause stress in cells, showed that the CCF-1 and PAL-1 genes suffered, and therefore the lifespan of the worms decreased. The sensitivity of the worms increased even to low stress.
