Brief stress-response activation promotes healthy aging in flies
Early-adulthood activation of a stress-response protein reduced mortality risk by approximately 50% across all ages and improved nerve and muscle function in aged flies.Early-adulthood activation of a stress-response protein reduced mortality risk by approximately 50% across all ages and improved nerve and muscle function in aged flies.
