We observed that the gene regulatory mechanisms related to energy production and DNA repair have remained astonishingly stable in Jonathan for nearly two centuries, says Justin Gerlach, a researcher from the University of Cambridge who participated in the study, in a university press release. #JonathanKilpikonna #Pitkäikäisyys #Ikääntyminen (translated)

“In Jonathan, the genetic regulators involved in energy production and DNA repair have remained incredibly stable for almost two centuries, which is striking because they usually deteriorate over time,” notes one of the authors, Justin Gerlach, a researcher in the ecology of giant tortoises at the British University of C. #TortugaJonathan #Longevidad #CienciaGenética (translated)
