Studies of Caenorhabditis elegans DAF‐2/insulin signaling reveal targets for pharmacological manipulation of lifespan
9 Jan 2006
Abstract excerpt
Much excitement has arisen from the observation that decrements in insulin-like signaling can dramatically extend lifespan in the nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans, and fruitfly, Drosophila melanogaster. In addition, there are tantalizing hints that the IGF-I pathway in mice may have similar effects. In addition to dramatic effects on lifespan, invertebrate insulin-like signaling also promotes changes in stress...
