Why do old flies die?
we get older we become more likely to get sick and, eventually, die. Although the underlying pathologies and major causes of death in elderly humans have been well documented, much less is known about the events leading to age-related death in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster-one of the premier model systems in aging research. What is the underlying pathology that limits the lifespan of a ...
متن کاملCell cycle: Flies teach an old dogma new tricks
E2F transcription factors are thought to influence the G1-S cell-cycle transition by controlling expression of genes required for growth and DNA synthesis. But emerging evidence suggests E2F complexes can control the cell cycle independently of transcription by directly regulating DNA replication origin usage during S phase.
متن کاملChasing flies because time flies.
that the authors conclude that Drosophila can be used as an instrumental model to elucidate the role of immune response as regulators of neuroprotection. In addition to Drosophila , much has been learnt from studying the zebrafish (Danio rerio) , appearing as an early vertebrate during evolution. The zebrafish has become an important organism for exploring defense mechanisms in innate immune re...
متن کاملMitochondria in the Aging Muscles of Flies and Mice: New Perspectives for Old Characters
Sarcopenia is the loss of muscle mass accompanied by a decrease in muscle strength and resistance and is the main cause of disability among the elderly. Muscle loss begins long before there is any clear physical impact in the senior adult. Despite all this, the molecular mechanisms underlying muscle aging are far from being understood. Recent studies have identified that not only mitochondrial ...
متن کاملDiet Shapes Mortality Response to Trauma in Old Tephritid Fruit Flies
Despite the importance of trauma in healthspan and lifespan in humans as well as in non-human species, with one important exception the literature in both gerontology and ecology contains virtually no experimental demographic studies concerned with trauma in any species. We used dietary manipulation [full diet (F) versus sugar-only (S)] to produce four levels of frailty in 55-day old tephritid ...
