Cap-Independent Translation of mRNA as a Common Mechanism of Longevity

Researchers here show that increased levels of cap-independent translation (CIT) of messenger RNA (mRNA) take place in a diverse set of interventions known to modestly slow aging in mice, suggesting it to be a common phenomenon in these shifts of metabolism towards a slower pace of aging. CIT is a process that in part drives the movement of mRNA, produced from genetic...
