MiRNA-based Life-span extension therapy: MiR-761 may increase lifespan by suppressing mTOR pathway, 19/March/2016, 7.49 am

MiRNA-based Life-span extension therapy: MiR-761 may increase lifespan by suppressing mTOR pathway, 19/March/2016, 7.49 am 150 150 Dr Boomi's Genom-2-Discovery Center

What is known:  It has been shown earlier that decreasing the expression/activity of mTOR increases overall mammalian lifespan, suggesting that mTOR inhibitors may function as “longevity promoters.”  From research findings…
