In 1991 his lab started to study genes involved in aging. [5] In 1993, Cynthia Kenyon 's lab at UCSF discovered that a single-gene mutation in ( Daf-2 ) could double the lifespan of C. elegans . That same year, David Sinclair joined the Guarente lab, and they developed the hypothesis that caloric restriction slows aging by activation of ...
In January, a team led by David Sinclair shows in a 13-year-long international study how DNA breaks or epigenetic damage are a major driver of epigenetic change, and how the loss of epigenetic information is a cause of aging in mammals. It concluded that the loss of epigenetic information can drive aging independently of changes to the genetic ...
