In Brief By observing the transparent cells of roundworms, researchers have uncovered a link between lifespan and the natural cellular process of RNA splicing. This research could lead to new breakthroughs in anti-aging treatments that would allow humans to indefinitely keep ourselves healthy, stalling death for as long as possible. Patterns in Splicing Though aging...

Is RNA splicing the key to a longer and healthier life?
Thanks to advances in medical science over the past century, humans have never lived longer than we do right now. But longer doesn’t necessarily mean healthier, and those who reach the ripe old age of 100 might spend almost half their life battling age-related chronic disease. Now, a Harvard team has discovered a link between...
