Longevity breakthrough: Scientists 'activate' life extension in worm, discover mitochondria's metabolic state controls life span

If you think life's too short, then you're not alone. Scientists set out to find what it would take to live a very long life and they made important discoveries that bring longer life spans much closer to reality. A new study describes how scientists "activated" life extension in the roundworm C. elegans, and in the process, discovered a new metabolic state correlating with long life.
