Magnetic Bacterium Extends Worm Lifespan by 43% in Anti-Aging Study

A bacterium known for producing microscopic magnetic structures significantly extended lifespan in laboratory worms while helping preserve neurological and intestinal function. The findings offer new insight into how magnetotactic bacteria may influence biological mechanisms associated with aging.
Researchers led by Prof. An Xu at the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences studied Magnetospirillum magneticum AMB-1 in Caenorhabditis elegans, a widely used model or
