A new study from UC San Diego and Stanford shows that brief electrical pulses significantly improve health and extend lifespan in sea squirts. - 75% of treated sea squirts survived a year vs.
20% of untreated ones. - The treatment triggers a gene expression reboot similar to exercise in humans.
- Sea squirts bridge invertebrate and vertebrate systems, aiding stem cell research. While human applications are distant, the findings offer insights into aging, exercise, and cellular repair.
