**Magnetic Bacterium Extends Lifespan by 43% in Surprising Anti-Aging Study**
By Weiwei Zhao & Yun Liu, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences - Published on 30 August 2026
A magnetotactic bacterium extended lifespan in worms by 43.39% and appeared to do so by suppressing ferroptosis. A bacterium best known for producing microscopic magnetic structures may have an unexpected effect on aging. In experiments with Caenorhabditis elegans, the magnetotactic bacterium Magnetospirillum magneticum AMB-1 extended average lifespan by 43.39% while helping preserve neurological function and [...]
