Insulin could hold the key to long life, say scientists - Daily Mail 21st March 2008

Insulin may help us live longer and healthier lives, say scientists. The drug used to treat diabetes slows the ageing process, according to their findings. Researchers believe the insulin inhibits a gene which plays a part in ageing. In future it may be possible to manipulate the SKN-1 gene through gene therapy. That could lead to increased resistance to chronic disease and may also influence longevity.
