there's been a couple of studies that have looked at fly fruit flies and worms um these are lower organisms that kind of like T was talking about the tardigrade they we these organisms actually share a lot of human DNA so dropa have 40 4% of these fruit fly um genes are found in humans which is quite a bit so if you take a fly and you expose it to one single exposure of heat for 70 minutes it extends your lifespan by 15% also that was shown to be dependent on heat Shu proteins because they have a version of heat Shu proteins um katog proteins have also been associated with human longevity so humans that have a variation in a gene that makes hog proteins uh live have exceptional longevity but there's actually another pathway that's activated by heat uh a longevity pathway and that's fox03 so foxo3 is a gene that is a master regulator of many other genes because it activates those genes and it deactivates those gen genes um many of the genes that it's regulating have to do with stress resistance have to do with being able to handle stress
