Abstract

Apart from lifestyle, environment and chance events, genetic factors have a key role in delineating the health and longevity of an individual. Research by Park et al. has now shed light on the role of mammalian GIMAP5, a longevity-assurance (LASS) gene encoding a GTP-binding protein that regulates ceramide synthesis and cellular senescence.
