Abstract excerpt
Genetic studies have elucidated mechanisms that regulate aging; however, there has been little progress in identifying drugs that retard ageing. Caenorhabditis elegans is among the classical model organisms in ageing research. Methyl 3,4-dihydroxybenzoate (MDHB) can prolong the life-span of C. elegans, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are not yet fully understood. Here, we report that MDHB prolongs the...
