 <http://web.mit.edu/biology/guarente/>Why do living things age? What genes
influence longevity? Is it possible to extend youthfulness by means of
genetic manipulation? Based on the discovery that
SIR2<http://web.mit.edu/biology/guarente/yeast/sir2.html> is
a key regulator of longevity in both yeast and worms, we are interested in
determining whether this highly-conserved gene also governs longevity in
mammals.
