We report here a new, unbiased forward genetic method that uses transposon-mediated mutagenesis to enable the identification of mutations that confer cryoprotectant toxicity resistance (CTR). Our method is to select for resistance to the toxic effect

The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans continues to serve as a useful model of life extension caused by dietary restriction. Using this model, downstream effectors of dietary restriction-induced longevity have been elucidated, including neuropeptides an

MULTICELLULAR organisms must respond to changes in the environment by altering their pattern of allocation of resources between growth (soma) and reproduction (germ line) in order to maximize lifetime reproductive fitness. These responses are mediate

Summary Research in aging biology has identified several pathways that are molecularly conserved across species that extend lifespan when mutated. The insulin/insulin‐like signaling (IIS) pathway is one of the most widely studied of these. It has b

Summary The analysis of age-specific mortality can yield insights into how anti-aging interventions operate that cannot be matched by simple assessment of longevity. Mortality, as opposed to longevity, can be used to assess the effects of an anti-agi

U-shaped dose-response relationships (hormesis) have been documented in numerous biological, toxicological, and pharmacological investigations. For example, in response to a mild 35 degrees C heat shock, the longevity of Caenorhabditis elegans exhibi

Aging and a limited life span are fundamental biological realities. Recent studies have demonstrated that longevity can be manipulated and have revealed molecular mechanisms underlying longevity control in the soil nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Si

Insulin-IGF receptor (InR) signaling has a conserved role in regulating lifespan, but little is known about the genetic control of declining organ function. Here, we describe progressive changes of heart function in aging fruit flies: from one to sev

We have shown that increased longevity and stress resistance can be induced by sub-lethal exposure to stressors (hormesis). Here we ask whether genes of the dauer formation pathway that are known to modulate life span in Caenorhabditis elegans are re

More than 40 single-gene mutants in Caenorhabditis elegans have been demonstrated to lead to increased lifespan (a rigorous, operational test for being a gerontogene) of 20% or more; these are referred to collectively as 'Age' mutants. Age mutants mu
