UCLA biologists slow aging, extend lifespan of fruit flies

(University of California - Los Angeles) In research that potentially could delay the onset of Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, cancer, stroke, cardiovascular disease, and other diseases of aging, UCLA biologists have produced a genetic one-two punch that significantly slowed aging and improved health in the middle-aged fruit flies they studied.
