  • Anti-aging transgenic Caenorhabditis elegans
    Patent number: 11013221
    Abstract: The present invention relates to: a transgenic Caenorhabditis elegans in which a glutamine tRNA 5? terminus-derived fragment (Gln 5?-tsRNA) is overexpressed; a preparation method therefor; and a method for screening for aging-associated factors by using the transgenic Caenorhabditis elegans. A transgenic Caenorhabditis elegans model provided in the present invention is an animal model in which Gln 5?-tsRNA is overexpressed such that aging is inhibited. When the model of the present invention is used, anti-aging mechanisms can be easily investigated, thereby significantly contributing to various research fields such as that of developing new anti-aging drugs and screening for age-inducing materials.
