New Research Could Slow Human Aging 180

schliz writes "A team of scientists from Japan and New Zealand have helped baker's yeast live 50% longer than usual by artificially stabilizing a genetic sequence called ribosomal DNA. The study's authors say that rDNA is a 'hot spot for production of the aging signal.' Because rDNA genes are very similar in yeast and humans, they say their experiment is a first step towards anti-aging drugs."

I nearly vomit every time I have to see a repulsive little Yaris or Smartcar, now i'm going to be forced to look at these phenomenally hideous pieces of shit too?
I've been praying for years that this disgusting heap would not get imported here, but I guess Nikolaus Otto wasn't listening.
