These are known longevity genes covered in an important story by Dr Yildiz in my publication.
Today Dr Mehmet Yildiz wrote an article titled Questions and Answers for Longevity Genes in an Important Story and submitted to my Health and Science publication on Medium.com. He is a regular contributor and he also mentors me for growing this publication now serving over 500 writers.
In his own words, one of his writing goals is to answer several important questions in my stories. This approach helps him research better, activate his neural pathway for better learning, inform his readers, and save time for them.
In this post, he introduces an important article he wrote about longevity genes by listing the questions it answered. He originally published this exceptional story on using his main account Dr Mehmet Yildiz (Main) on ILLUMINATION publications.
From his new account, he offers distilled versions of his stories for a new audience, hoping to illuminate more readers. As a researcher and educator, like me, he frequently uses questions and answers and finds them valuable.
