Multigenerational downregulation of insulin/IGF-1 signalling in adulthood improves lineage survival, reproduction, and fitness in <i>C. elegans</i> supporting the developmental theory of ageing
2020-08-19
Abstract excerpt
Adulthood-only downregulation of insulin/IGF-1 signalling (IIS), an evolutionarily conserved pathway regulating resource allocation between somatic maintenance and reproduction, increases lifespan without fecundity cost in the nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans . However, long-term multigenerational effects of reduced IIS remain unexplored and are proposed to carry costs for offspring quality. To test this hypothes...
