Fine-tuning autophagy maximises lifespan and is associated with changes in mitochondrial gene expression in Drosophila.

Fine-tuning autophagy maximises lifespan and is associated with changes in mitochondrial gene expression in Drosophila.

Increased cellular degradation by autophagy is a feature of many interventions that delay ageing. We report here that increased autophagy is necessary for reduced insulin-like signalling (IIS) to extend lifespan in Drosophila and is sufficient on its own to increase lifespan. We first established th...
