¡¡¡¡Passage 3

¡¡¡¡For someone with a passion for prolonging life, Leonard Guarente has flirted with cutting it short. As a third grader in Revere, Mass., the gritty town where he grew up, Guarente smoked about five cigarettes a day. ¡°I was doing it to be cool, ¡± explains the 48ª²yearª²old grandson of Italian immigrants. ¡°I quit after the ringleader kid moved away.¡±

¡¡¡¡Now Guarente is leading efforts to solve one of the most intriguing mysteries of aging: why eating much less makes life last longer. Research has shown that severe caloric restriction can prolong life. In one experiment, lab mice that were fed 60 percent of their normal allotment of food lived up to 16 months longer then their expected 40ª²month lifetime. Researchers in aging are intensely interested in finding out why, and whether it¬ðs possible to reap the longevity benefits of caloric restriction without suffering the hunger pangs.

¡¡¡¡Guarente, a biologist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is trying to answer that ¡°why¡± by finding genes that account for the extraª²long lives of skinny lab rats. That¬ðs not a simple task. It is difficult to pinpoint the genes that cause any disease, and particularly genes of aging, which clearly has multiple causes. So Guarente started looking for the aging genes in yeast, a fungus
