🌟 New insights into extreme longevity! 🌟
Our latest read on the multiomics blueprint of a 117-year-old supercentenarian reveals how genetics 🧬, metabolism ⚡, microbiome 🌱, and epigenetics 🕰️ can decouple aging from disease.
📊 Findings:
Ultra-short telomeres but no cancer 📉
Protective genetic variants and robust mitochondria 💪
Efficient lipid metabolism (high HDL, low triglycerides) 💧
Low inflammation 🔥
Youth-like microbiome (rich in Bifidobacterium) 🦠
Epigenetic age decades younger than chronological age ✨
⚠️ Limitations: single-subject study, but a powerful window into healthy aging.
💡 Takeaway: Longevity isn’t just about adding years — it’s about adding healthy years. This work opens doors for biomarkers and interventions that could redefine aging.
