Significance: It has been shown earlier that decreasing the expression of mTOR increases overall lifespan. This study suggests, for the first time, that MiRNA-199a-3p, by suppressing the expression of mTOR, it may increase the lifespan of an individual, Thus, this study suggests that pharmacological formulations encompassing “MiRNA-199a-3p activators” may be used to enhance the lifespan of an individual.
