Japanese researchers at the University of Tokyo transferred regenerative genes from simple organisms into fruit flies, suppressing age-related intestinal issues.

Japanese researchers at the University of Tokyo transferred regenerative genes from simple organisms into fruit flies, suppressing age-related intestinal issues in the flies. This discovery could reveal new mechanisms for rejuvenating stem cell function and extending healthy lifespan in unrelated organisms, including humans. Studying highly regenerative genes in simple organisms may lead to novel anti-aging strategies through targeted gene therapy.
