Endogenous chondroitin extends the lifespan and healthspan in C. elegans

Abstract Chondroitin, a class of glycosaminoglycan polysaccharides, is found as proteoglycans in the extracellular matrix, plays a crucial role in tissue morphogenesis during development and axonal regeneration. Ingestion of chondroitin prolongs the lifespan of C. elegans. However, the roles of endo...
