Potential relevance to longevity and/or ageing

Observations
Downregulation of kynu-1 in worms extended lifespan by 38% at 25 degrees celcius and 31% at 15 degrees celcius. Functional decline was also delayed. Additionally, kynu-1 downregulation increased brood size at 25 degrees celcius and also slightly delayed paralysis in amyloid beta worms.
% change in avg or median lifespan
Mean lifespan is 38% higher.
