Changes in reproductive cell structures track age in worms
In experiments with Caenorhabditis elegans worms, an image-based clock predicted age from changes in two structures within reproductive cells.In experiments with Caenorhabditis elegans worms, an image-based clock predicted age from changes in two structures within reproductive cells.

Who was studiedCaenorhabditis elegans worms
What changedReproductive-cell structures changed with age, allowing an image-based clock to predict worms’ chronological age
The catchThe clock predicts chronological age, not how long worms can reproduce
