Abstract excerpt
The insulin/insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) signaling system is a public regulator of aging in the model animals Caenorhabditis elegans, Drosophila melanogaster, and Mus musculus. For the first time, proteomic analyses of the environmentally resistant and 'nonaging' C. elegans dauer stage and long-lived daf-2 mutants has provided a unique insight into the protein changes which mediate survival against...
