Abstract excerpt
Aging is regulated by both genetic and environmental factors, and Caenorhabditis elegans is a key model due to its conserved longevity pathways. The fln-2 gene, encoding an ortholog of human filamin A (FLNa) with up to 27 isoforms, is known to modulate pharyngeal infection and lifespan in C. elegans. Still, its isoform-specific roles and mechanisms have not been fully elucidated. Here, we demonstrate that...
