Why Gene Therapies Targeting Longevity-Related Genes are Not Yet Widespread

Genes produce proteins at a pace determined by epigenetic control over nuclear DNA structure. That epigenetic control changes with age for reasons that are incompletely understood. A promising possibility is that repeated activation of DNA repair processes depletes specific factors needed for maintenance of DNA structure, but that needs further confirmation. The pace of protein...
