University of Copenhagen researchers identify protein OSER1 linked to longevity and age-related diseases.

Researchers at the University of Copenhagen have identified a protein, OSER1, that significantly affects longevity in various species, including humans. Regulated by the FOXO transcription factor, OSER1's role in aging could lead to insights into age-related diseases and potential new drug targets for conditions like metabolic, cardiovascular, and neurodegenerative diseases. This discovery enhances understanding of longevity and its implications for human health.
