Hypodermal responses to protein synthesis inhibition induce systemic developmental arrest and AMPK-dependent survival in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Across organisms, manipulation of biosynthetic capacity arrests development early in life, but can increase health- and lifespan post-developmentally. Here we demonstrate that this developmental arrest is not sickness but rather a regulated survival program responding to reduced cellular performance...
