3-Ketoacyl thiolase delays aging of Caenorhabditis elegans and is required for lifespan extension mediated by sir-2.1
Studies of long-lived Caenorhabditis elegans mutants have identified several genes that function to limit lifespan, i.e., loss-of-function mutations in these genes promote longevity. By contrast, little is known about genes that normally act to delay aging and that when mutated cause premature aging...
