Scientists just found the holy grail gene that could let humans regrow their own limbs one day

Scientists studying naked mole rats discovered a gene linked to high levels of high molecular weight hyaluronic acid (HMW-HA), a substance associated with cancer resistance, reduced inflammation, and healthy aging. Researchers at the University of Rochester transferred the gene into mice and found that the animals lived healthier lives with…

Has any particular gene responsible for longer lifespan identified?

Naked mole rats' longevity and resistance to age-related diseases is due to a gene that produces high molecular weight hyaluronic acid (HMW-HA). Researchers at the University of Rochester transferred this gene to mice, leading to a 4.4% increase in median lifespan and improved health. The study was published in Nature.
