Shifting metabolism to increase lifespan
Abstract
Lionaki et al. report that reducing mitochondrial protein import increases Caenorhabditis elegans lifespan, through a metabolic shift that enhances the conversion of glucose into serine. Here, I discuss the promise held by these findings in the framework of therapeutic approaches to metabolic and neurodegenerative diseases.
Keywords: C. elegans; fructose; glucose; lifespan; metabolic shift; mitochondrial protein import.
