The researchers said that a decline in the expression of long genes is observed in a range of animals from humans to worms, as well as in various human cell and tissue types and in those with neurodegenerative diseases. Mouse experiments indicate that this phenomenon may be mitigated via anti-aging factors/therapies such as dietary restriction which has been shown to limit DNA damage.
