Scientists gave worms magnetic bacteria. They lived 43% longerhttps://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/09/260924020357.htm
A magnet-producing bacterium extended the average lifespan of C. elegans worms by more than 43% while helping protect their neurological and intestinal health. Researchers traced much of the effect to suppression of ferroptosis, a damaging form of cell death linked to iron buildup and oxidative stress.
