CGAS knockout in aged killifish: a research article examining cellular aging markers and molecular changes without claiming lifespan benefits.
Key Takeaways
- Genetic knockout of cGAS in African turquoise killifish lowered cellular senescence markers and age-associated transcriptional changes.
- CGAS-deficient killifish maintained higher cellular proliferative capacity during aging compared with wild-type controls.
- Despite improved cellular and molecular aging signatures, cGAS loss did not change overall organismal lifespan.
