Gametogenesis Eliminates Age-Induced Cellular Damage and Resets Life Span in Yeast
Eukaryotic organisms age, yet detrimental age-associated traits are not passed on to progeny. How life span is reset from one generation to the next is not known. We show that in budding yeast resetting of life span occurs during gametogenesis. Gametes (spores) generated by aged cells show the same...
