Researchers traced much of the effect to suppression of ferroptosis, a damaging form of cell death linked to iron buildup and oxidative stress.
A study conducted by the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences revealed that a magnetic bacteria can increase the longevity of worms of the genus Caenorhabditis elegans by more than 43%...
