The unfolded protein response reverses the effects of glucose on lifespan in chemically-sterilized C. elegans

Endoplasmic reticulum stress activates the unfolded protein response (UPR). The authors show that glucose extends the lifespan of aged animals by activating the otherwise quiescent UPR while causing a UPR-dependent reduced longevity in young animals
