Scientists may have worked out how to rewire our biological clocks, in what could be a breakthrough.A team from the University of San Diego has, for the first time, hijacked a genetic pathway involved in cellular aging. They were able to increase the lifespan of cells by more than 80 percent.The researchers wrote: 'Our work represents a proof-of-concept, demonstrating the successful application of synthetic biology to reprogram the cellular aging process and may lay the foundation for designing synthetic gene circuits to effectively promote longevity in more complex organisms.'
