Mifepristone Increases Life Span in Female Drosophila Without Detectable Antibacterial Activity
Mifepristone dramatically increases the life span of mated female Drosophila while reducing the expression of innate immune response genes. Previous results indicated that mifepristone also reduced the load of aero-tolerant bacteria in mated females. Experiments were conducted to further investigate...
