The AGELESS project, conducted by the team of Emma Teeling (University College Dublin, Ireland) in partnership with Sébastien Puechmaille (Universität Greifswald, Germany and University College Dublin, Ireland) and Eric Small (Rennes University 1, France), and funded by the European Research Council (ERC), offers this challenge by seeking the molecular basis of aging in a single model organism, the bat. A effet, these mammals defy the theoretical models suggest a positive correlation between life expectancy and body size.
Mradi ageless, uliofanywa na timu ya Emma Teeling (Chuo Kikuu cha Dublin, Ireland) kwa kushirikiana na Sébastien Puechmaille (Universitat Greifswald, Ujerumani na Chuo Kikuu cha Dublin, Ireland) na Eric Small (Rennes Chuo Kikuu 1, Ufaransa), na kufadhiliwa na Baraza la Utafiti wa Ulaya (ERC), inatoa changamoto hii kwa kutafuta msingi Masi ya kuzeeka katika viumbe moja ya mfano, bat. En effet, hizi mamalia kumpinga mifano ya kinadharia zinaonyesha uwiano mzuri kati ya umri wa kuishi na ukubwa wa mwili.
