Why
Sea squirts were chosen because they replace crucial tissue weekly and share around 70% of their genetic material with humans.
The Frontline Impact
How this affects you
This research demonstrates a potential new method for reversing some aging-related damage in a simple organism, which could inform treatments for age-related decline, infertility, and degenerative diseases in humans.
