Forget magic potions or sci-fi tech—the key to longevity might be flapping around in the night sky. 🌌 Scientists are turning to greater mouse-eared bats in rural France, creatures that live 10x longer than similar-sized animals, to crack the code of aging. These bats don’t just defy time—they resist diseases and challenge biological norms. Could their DNA hold clues for humans?
Reya El-Salahi from RAZOR joined Professor Emma Teeling (University College Dublin) and conservationists in Brittany to track these winged marvels. 🦇🔍 Meanwhile, Dr. Maximina Yun at the Chinese Institutes for Medical Research studies axolotls—salamanders that regrow limbs and organs—hinting at revolutionary medical breakthroughs. 💡
From bat genes to salamander superpowers, researchers worldwide are asking: Can nature’s quirks rewrite human healthspan? 🧬✨ Whether it’s slowing aging or healing injuries, the answers might be hiding in plain sight—no lab coat required.
