Why do some people live beyond 100 in good health? A Swiss study offers new insights by identifying 37 proteins associated with slower aging.
In an article published by Bilan, Professor Karl-Heinz Krause, President of the Fondation pour Recherches Médicales (FRM), discusses findings from the SWISS100 research project, which investigates the biological mechanisms behind exceptional longevity.
Conducted by research teams from the University of Geneva and the University of Lausanne, the study identified certain proteins in centenarians' blood whose profiles are remarkably similar to those of much younger adults. These findings offer new perspectives for understanding aging and the biological mechanisms that contribute to longer, healthier lives.
A wonderful opportunity to highlight Geneva's biomedical research and the scientific work to which Professor Krause contributes!
