But Harvard Medical School researchers may have found a gene that can actually hold back the clock. If the quantity of a protein that regulates gene expression and fixes damaged cells is increased, genes may be less likely to deteriorate, according to the study. Cells that remain in better condition for longer age more slowly, theoretically allowing organisms to remain younger longer. “People may have an extended lifespan,” said Raul Mostoslavsky...
