      Building on earlier evidence that Topoisomerase 2 depletion can extend yeast lifespan, the authors present convincing data demonstrating that reduced Top2 levels confer significant longevity benefits in C. elegans and mice. They show that these benefits encompass not only extended survival but also improved healthspan and mitigation of aging phenotypes, supported by robust transcriptomic, epigenetic, and histological analyses. While the exact mechanistic underpinnings-such as the potential connection to classical aging pathways and the selective down-regulation of genes with active promoters-remain to be fully elucidated, the breadth of these important findings strongly indicates a conserved role for Top2 in aging regulation.

      eLife Assessment

      This is a useful study that seeks to address the role of the TET family of DNA demethylation enzymes in pancreatic beta cell senescence in the context of type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Although the concepts are novel and of interest, the study presents incomplete evidence to fully support its main conclusions.
