Study Reveals 194-Year-Old Tortoise's Slow Aging Process
Confirmed
In Short: Jonathan's unique genetic makeup could potentially offer clues about how to slow down the aging process in other organisms.
According to the study, Jonathan's genes may provide insights into why some organisms age more slowly than others.
The research team emphasizes that Jonathan's longevity and health suggest he is aging more slowly than expected for his age.
Jonathan's unique genetic makeup could potentially offer clues about how to slow down the aging process in other organisms.
The study highlights the importance of studying long-lived species like Jonathan to better understand the mechanisms of aging.
While the exact genetic factors contributing to Jonathan's longevity are still under investigation, the research opens new avenues for aging studies.
The findings could have implications for understanding and potentially mitigating the effects of aging in humans and other species.
What this adds
The study does not provide specific genetic details but emphasizes the potential for further research into Jonathan's unique aging process.
Background
A new study published in Frontiers in Psychology indicates that playing life simulation games may increase players' desire to have children in real life.
What's confirmed
- And according to a study out this week in the journal Science Advances, his genes may yield important clues about why we age and possibly how to slow it down.
- He's 194 years old, give or take, and he is a giant tortoise who lives on the island of St.
- GERLACH: Well, we know more about Jonathan than we do most 194-year-olds.
- KELLY: So Jonathan the giant tortoise, how giant is he?
What's still developing
- No journal article matching this report (Study finds 194-year-old tortoise is 'aging more slowly than you would expect') was found in the research index, and no page published by the researchers turned up in the search.
- A news rewrite is not the researchers' measurement.
- The paper "NIDA study finds OD deaths more than tripled 35–44 year old in PPW women". was published in Alcoholism & Drug Abuse Weekly in 2023.
- The study, “Pregnancy and Postpartum Drug Overdose Deaths in the US Before and During the COVID‐19 Pandemic,” was published Nov. 22 in JAMA Psychiatry by Beth Han, M.D., Ph.D., and colleagues from NIDA.
- Overdose deaths tripled among 35 to 44‐year‐old pregnant and postpartum women (PPW) from 2018–2021 and rose markedly in all pregnant and postpartum girls and women ages 10 to 44, a new study by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) has found.
