Abstract excerpt
Several studies with the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans have made the unexpected discovery that certain hypomorphic mutations in genes encoding mitochondrial proteins result in life span extension. These mutations appear to act independently of the other known pathway that regulates life span extension, the dauer-specifying insulin/IGF-1-like pathway. Here we present a hypothesis that unifies the effects of...
