Longevity and heat stress regulation in Caenorhabditis elegans.
Mechanisms of ageing and development - 1 Jan 2003

Abstract excerpt
Aging is the most complex phenotype for a multicellular organism. This process is now being under severe investigation. Here I will review the different processes known to affect longevity in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans and their relationship with thermotolerance. All the longevity mutants that have been tested so far show an increase in stress resistance. In particular, long-lived mutants affected in the...
