The basic but important discovery, achieved through a combination of dietary and genetic changes, brings science closer to controlling the survival and health of the unit of all living systems: the cell.

"We're setting the foundation for reprogramming healthy life," said study leader Valter Longo of the University of Southern California.

"We got a 10-fold life span extension that is, I think, the longest one that has ever been achieved in any organism," Longo said. In 2005, the same research group reported a five-fold life span extension in the journal Cell. Normal yeast organisms live about a week.
