<br/><br/> GENE STUDY SEEKS SECRET OF LONG LIFE -- "Researchers believe they are closing in on the first human gene ever shown to increase longevity--a gene that might be able to add two decades to a healthy life span." (LOS ANGELES TIMES) This article provides details of a longevity study in which researchers were able to pinpoint a specific gene they believe may "act to suppress or delay diseases associated with aging.".  CRACKING THE GENETIC CODE FOR LONGER LIFE -- "Researchers found a DNA strand linked to longevity. They hope to find a drug to mimic it." (PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER) This article examines the results of the longevity study and analyzes its implications on the field of aging.
