New research has identified the length of genes as a central factor in the aging process, with long genes playing a significant role in both the acceleration and deceleration of aging. This insight shifts the focus from specific aging genes to the broader impact of gene length, offering new avenues for understanding and potentially addressing age-related changes and diseases.In a new paper, the scientists write about their findings and how they advance existing knowledge about aging.
Conditions known to accelerate aging decrease the activity of long genes. This includes smoking, alcohol, oxidative stress, and UV-irradiation. Conditions known to slow aging increase the activity of long genes such as caloric restriction. Also, genes that are very short or very long encode for cellular processes known to change in aging such as the formation of cellular energy, protein synthesis, and transmission of neural signals.
