Neuronal mTORC1 inhibition promotes longevity without suppressing anabolic growth and reproduction in <i>C. elegans</i>
2021-08-12
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> One of the most robust and reproducible methods to prolong lifespan in a variety of organisms is inhibition of the mTORC1 (mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1) pathway. mTORC1 is a metabolic sensor that promotes anabolic growth when nutrients are abundant. Inhibition of mTORC1 extends lifespan, but also frequently has other effects such as stunted growth, slowed development, reduced fertil...
