- Researchers Discover How Caffeine Could Slow Cellular Aging
Mittwoch 7:00 – BeauHD at Slashdot
alternative_right shares a report from Phys.Org: In new research published by scientists studying fission yeastâ“a single-celled organism surprisingly similar to human cellsâ“researchers found that caffeine affects aging by tapping into an ancient cellular energy system. A few years ago, the same research team found that caffeine helps cells live longer by acting on a growth regulator called TOR (target of rapamycin). TOR is a biological switch that tells cells when to grow, based on how much food and energy is available. This switch has been controlling energy and stress responses in living t … - Meta's Massive AI Data Center Is Stressing Out a Louisiana Community
