Abstract

The Myc proto-oncogene has been intensively studied in tumorigenesis and development. A new paper in Cell reports the role of Myc as a determinant of mammalian longevity. Myc heterozygous mice exhibit extended lifespans resulting from alterations in multiple cellular processes distinct from those observed in other longevity models.
