Natural product Life-span extension therapy: Plums (Prunus salicina L) extract increases life span by suppressing mTOR pathway through up regulation of its target gene, 22/November/2016, 6.10 am

Natural product Life-span extension therapy: Plums (Prunus salicina L) extract increases life span by suppressing mTOR pathway through up regulation of its target gene, 22/November/2016, 6.10 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…
