Aging Reduces Intestinal Stem Cell Activity in Killifish and Intermittent Fasting Reverses Intestinal Gene Expression Patterns

3 months 2 weeks ago
The process of aging is associated with a decline in cell, tissue, and organ function, leading to a range of health problems. Increasing evidence indicates that dietary restriction can counteract age-dependent effects and improve health and longevity in whole organisms, but less is known about the influence of aging and the impact of nutrition on individual organs of an organism. In this study, we examined the intestine of the very short-lived aging model system, the African turquoise killifish...
