African killifish may hold key to stop ageing in humans

A cure for ageing is something that scientists have still not managed to grasp, however recent studies into the African turquoise killifish may give a route into the halting of ageing in humans. The killifish have a mechanism called diapause which allows them to pause development, in the embryo stage, until the conditions they are in become more favourable. Scientists are actively researching whether this attribute could be applied to humans.
