Genetics, Aging, and Longevity in Model Organisms

This is a sourced subject-directory page. Its presence does not mean a factual answer has been researched, or that the subject is a proven knowledge gap.

Scope of this subject

This cluster of papers explores the molecular mechanisms underlying aging, longevity, and age-related diseases. It covers topics such as oxidative stress, genetic regulation of lifespan, the impact of caloric restriction, mitochondrial function, RNA interference, inflammaging, insulin signaling, and proteostasis. The research spans model organisms like C. elegans and Drosophila to mammalian studies, providing insights into the fundamental processes of aging.

OpenAlex generated this cluster description with an LLM. It describes research grouping, not verified findings.
