our search for the gene that causes Hydra to be immortal led us to the so-called FoxO gene," says Anna-Marei Böhm, PhD student and first author of the study. The FoxO gene exists in all animals and humans and has been known for years. However, until now it was not known why human stem cells become fewer and inactive with increasing age

Does one get superhuman powers by chastity? They say that men who are virgins will be "awakened" or something. I think a lot of this comes from the fact that the greatest men of science have died virgins. Like Isaac Newton and Nicholai Tesla.

But as Tesla himself once said: "I am credited with being one of the hardest workers and perhaps I am, if thought is the equivalent of labour, for I have devoted to it almost all of my waking hours."

One would assume it is about them doing science 24/7 instead of doing other things rather than them being virgins? Virginity might be a result of only thinking about science and nothing else?
