The sexes perform different reproductive roles and have evolved sometimes strikingly
different phenotypes. One focal point of adaptive divergence occurs in the context of diet and …

The study of mechanisms that govern feeding behaviour and its related disorders is a matter
of global health interest. The roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans is becoming a model …

Biocompatibility of cutting‐edge neural implants, surgical tools and techniques, and
therapeutic technologies is a challenging concept that can be easily misjudged. For …

Aging can be defined as the progressive decline in tissue and organismal function and the
ability to respond to stress that occurs in association with homeostatic failure and the …

This study shows that exposure to low concentrations of the polyphenol tannic acid (TA)
induces potent life-prolonging properties in Caenorhabditis elegans. In addition, enhanced …

Abstract The traditional Chinese medicine Astragalus polysaccharide (APS) has been
widely used to improve glucose homeostasis and immunoregulator properties. In recent …

A better understanding of the aging process is necessary to ensure that the healthcare
needs of an aging population are met. With the trend toward increased human life …

Caenorhabditis elegans is widely used as a model for investigation of the relationships
between aging, nutrient restriction and signalling via the DAF-2 (abnormal dauer formation …

Dietary restriction extends lifespan in a wide variety of animals, including Drosophila, but its
relationship to functional and cognitive aging is unclear. Here, we study the effects of dietary …

Aging is a complex and inevitable biological process that is associated with numerous
chronically debilitating health effects. Development of effective interventions for promoting …
