Subject: aging research

In the most recent edition of "New Scientist" an interesting article on 
SIRTUIN 3
which codes for a protein found in mitochondria. A Dr. Thomas Perls of Boston U
found that this gene appears disproportionately often in centenarians.
A paper will appear in Experimental Gerontology.
