FOXO3, a gene linked to longevity in humans, protects neural stem cells from the negative effects of stress.
Researchers have identified seven genes that predict intracranial volume and Parkinson's disease.
A new study challenges previous research into the role of the FOXO3 gene in super-aging. Researchers found the gene did, to a degree, play a role in longevity, but did not affect living to ages 96+ in men or 100+ in women.
