Abstract excerpt
Aging and a limited life span are fundamental biological realities. Recent studies have demonstrated that longevity can be manipulated and have revealed molecular mechanisms underlying longevity control in the soil nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Signals from both neurons and the gonad appear to negatively regulate longevity. One tissue-specific signal involves an insulin-like phosphatidylinositol 3-OH kinase...
