Abstract excerpt
Lifespan extension is an all systems encompassing event. Involvement of reduced insulin/IGF1 signalling is well worked out, first in the model organism Caenorhbaditis elegans followed by other systems including humans. But the role of neuronal component in lifespan extension is not well understood due to the refractory nature of neurons to small RNA interference (sRNAi) in C. elegans. Earlier, we have...
