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 ...
The study authors wanted to understand more about how the combination and long-term use of cardiovascular medications affected dementia risk in a more generalized population.
[53] [57] [58] [59] In 2004, Harvard University professor David Sinclair co-founded Sirtris Pharmaceuticals, the initial product of which was a resveratrol formulation.

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 ...
