Intestinal Autophagy Improves Healthspan and Longevity in C. elegans during Dietary Restriction.

Intestinal Autophagy Improves Healthspan and Longevity in C. elegans during Dietary Restriction.

Dietary restriction (DR) is a dietary regimen that extends lifespan in many organisms. One mechanism contributing to the conserved effect of DR on longevity is the cellular recycling process autophagy, which is induced in response to nutrient scarcity and increases sequestration of cytosolic materia...
