In the study, the authors used fission yeast as a surrogate cell for human cells. They monitored cell division against certain genetic modifications.
Caffeine in coffee can slow down the aging process
The results found that caffeine reverses a cellular switch that could slow down the aging process, according to science news site Scitech Daily.
The findings help explain why caffeine may have health and longevity benefits, says study author John-Patrick Alao, a biochemist at Queen Mary University of London, and open up avenues for future research into how to trigger these effects more directly, through diet, lifestyle or new drugs.
However, there is still a long way to go to a new drug or treatment, and much more research is needed.
To date, more and more studies have shown the positive effects of a daily cup of coffee, from reducing body fat, fighting cardiovascular disease, to preventing dementia.
