Extracts of plant adaptogens such as Eleutherococcus senticosus (or Acanthopanax
senticosus) and Rhodiola rosea can increase stress resistance in several model systems …

Since the discovery of single gene mutations that double its lifespan, the nematode
Caenorhabditis elegans has provided remarkable insights into the biology of aging. The …

Individual lifespans of isogenic organisms, such as Caenorhabditis elegans nematodes, fruit
flies, and mice, vary greatly even under identical environmental conditions. To study the …

Abstract Significance: The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is a widely used model
organism for research into aging. However, nematodes diverged from other animals …

Research into the causes of aging has greatly increased in recent years. Much of this
interest is due to the discovery of genes in a variety of model organisms that appear to …

Background Studies with the nematode model Caenorhabditis elegans have identified
conserved biochemical pathways that act to modulate life span. Life span can also be …

Demographic profiles of several single-gene longevity mutants of the nematode
Caenorhabditis elegans reveal segmental (age-specific) effects on mortality. The mortality …

Aging has been characterised in detail in relatively few animal species. Here we describe
the aging process in free-living adults of the parasitic nematode Strongyloides ratti. We find …

Lactobacilli and bifidobacteria are probiotic bacteria that modify host defense systems and
have the ability to extend the lifespan of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Here, we …

Previous studies have shown that exposing adults of the soil-dwelling nematode
Caenorhabditis elegans to concentrations of ethanol in the range of 100–400 mM results in …
