科学家们首次在活体细胞里发现了一种可激活的潜在抗衰老酶(名为瑟蒂尤因斯)的方法。他们说这一进展有助于更快开发出延长人类寿命和防治多种老年疾病的药物。这一全新的方法已经大大延长了酵母和生活在实验室器皿里的人体细胞的寿命,同时还能延长苍蝇和蠕虫等在分子生物学层次上与人的老化速度相当 For the first time, scientists have found a way to activate a potential anti-aging enzyme called Sooty Incest in living cells. They said that this progress has helped to develop more rapidly medicines that extend the lives of humans and prevent many diseases of the elderly. This new approach has greatly extended the lifespan of yeast and living human cells in laboratory vessels while at the same time extending the flies and worms at the molecular biology level to the rate of human aging
