This study found specific characteristics of genes connected to longevity in mammalian species with longer lifespans, including 2 regulatory networks: the circadian and pluripotency networks.

HIIT boosts proteins in skeletal muscle that are essential for energy metabolism and muscle contraction, and chemically alters key metabolic proteins through a process called acetylation.

Restricting calories by 30-40% in mice and feeding only at night — when mice are most active — extended lifespan by 35%, the equivalent of nine months extra to their typical two-year lifespan.

Researchers used gene editing to increase pro-vitamin D3 (the precursor to the active form) in the fruit and leaves of tomatoes, allowing for the plant to convert it into vitamin D3 upon exposure to UVB.
