Andrzej Bartke, PhD, Professor and Director of Geriatric Medicine, Southern Illinois University School of Medicine, reported the first evidence that mutation of a single gene can significantly extend lifespan in a mammal, and have extensively characterized the phenotype of long-lived Ames dwarf mice, identifying several mechanisms that are likely to explain or contribute to their delayed aging and greatly prolonged longevity. Andrzej Bartke was able to dounble the lifespan of a mouse.
