Cel mai bătrân animal terestru din lume are 194 de ani: ADN-ul său îi uimește pe cercetători/ video

Researchers have studied the DNA of Jonathan, a 194-year-old tortoise, to uncover genetic clues that may help slow human aging. Jonathan, the oldest terrestrial animal, has shown remarkable longevity linked to specific genetic variants that protect against cellular damage. The study revealed that Jonathan's genes are effective in DNA repair and inflammation reduction, suggesting a unique resilience in his cellular health. Additionally, his well-preserved mitochondria may play a crucial role in longevity. The findings could lead to new treatments for human health, focusing on mitochondrial health and aging processes. Future clinical studies aim to explore these genetic insights further.
