Worms
hold 'eternal life' secret
"A tiny round worm can live six times longer than normal if certain genes and hormones are tweaked, according to a report in the journal Science."
"They went on to stay healthy and active for a human equivalent of 500 years, which is the longest life-span extension ever achieved by scientists."
"The researchers pointed out that the chief mechanism they tampered with - a signalling pathway involving insulin - was common in many species, including mammals.
But many people might find the price of immortality a little high. The worms with the longest lifespans also had their reproductive systems removed."

“Bioinformatics will be at the core of biology in the 21st century. In fields ranging from structural biology to genomics to biomedical imaging, ready access to data and analytical tools are fundamentally changing the way investigators in the life sciences conduct research and approach problems. Complex, computationally intensive biological problems are now being addressed and promise to significantly advance our understanding of biology and medicine. No biological discipline will be unaffected by these technological breakthroughs.”
