Neuroprotective role of Hippo signaling by microtubule stability control in <em>Caenorhabditis elegans</em>

1 year 7 months ago
The evolutionarily conserved Hippo (Hpo) pathway has been shown to impact early development and tumorigenesis by governing cell proliferation and apoptosis. However, its post-developmental roles are relatively unexplored. Here, we demonstrate its roles in post-mitotic cells by showing that defective Hpo signaling accelerates age-associated structural and functional decline of neurons in Caenorhabditis elegans. Loss of wts-1/LATS, the core kinase of the Hpo pathway, resulted in premature...

NIA Caenorhabditis Intervention Testing Program: identification of robust and reproducible pharmacological interventions that promote longevity across experimentally accessible, genetically diverse populations

1 year 7 months ago
A core facet of the National Institute on Aging's mission is to identify pharmacological interventions that can promote human healthy aging and long life. As part of the comprehensive effort toward that goal, the NIA Division of Biology of Aging established the Caenorhabditis Intervention Testing Program (CITP) in 2013. The C. elegans model (with an ~ 21 day lifespan) has led the field in dissection of longevity genetics and offers features that allow for relatively rapid testing and for the...
