Abstract excerpt
During the past decade, model organisms such as Drosophila have made it possible to identify individual genes and pathways that regulate organismal life-span. However, despite the progress made in Drosophila aging research, many longevity studies have often yielded controversial results that can be attributed to differences both in genetic background and in experimental design. Here, we describe the results of a...
