Aging: why do organisms live too long?

Current biology : CB - 18 Nov 2013

Maklakov Alexei A

Abstract excerpt

Fruit flies selected to reproduce on the fifth day of adult life for many generations remarkably keep on living for six weeks, showing no change in lifespan. A mutation-accumulation experiment suggests that the same genes confer high early-life fitness and long life.
