I know it’s cowardly to post this from an anonymous account, but I don’t believe this work, because the scientist, Andy Dillin is a fraud. A friend was a student in his lab and discovered something that disproved a key paper Dillin built his career on, and Dillin took him off the project and covered it up.

I hope this is true because it would be an amazing breakthrough, but Dillin is the type to fabricate breakthroughs to further his career.

From article: "Yet for some reason, gumming up the smooth functioning of the mitochondria compelled the worms to live longer."
