Abstract excerpt
The laboratory has yielded many long-lived mutants of several model-organisms in the past few years. Many of the resulting claims for extended longevity have been nuanced or shown to be restricted to specific conditions, including environments and genetic backgrounds. Here, we test whether the long-lived mutant fruit fly methuselah (mth(1)) displays its apparent superiority in longevity and stress resistance in...
