mice可能也不見得都是白的

南加州大學(University of Southern California)的研究人員已將酵母細胞的壽命延長至原先的10倍，同時沒有產生明顯的副作用。他們聲稱，這是有機體壽命延長方面所取得的最高紀錄。研究負責人瓦爾特•朗哥(Valter Longo)表示：“我們正在為健康生命的程式重設奠定基礎。”
這項研究結果將于下周發表在《科學公共圖書館·遺傳學》(PLoS Genetics)雜誌上，內容涉及如何將麵包酵母納入一份限制熱量攝入的食譜，抗擊兩種已知會促進衰老的基因——RAS2和SCH9。
南加州大學的科學家們下一步計畫在醫用白鼠身上進行延長壽命的研究。他們目前還在研究厄瓜多爾的某一特定族群。在這些人的身上，曾產生過類似於上述酵母細胞中存在的基因突變。

Researchers at the University of Southern California
The research, to be published next week in the journal PLoS Genetics, involved putting baker's yeast on a calorie-restricted diet and knocking out two genes – RAS2 and SCH9 – known to promote ageing.
The USC scientists plan next to investigate lifespan extension in laboratory mice. They are also studying a human population in Ecuador
