Nerve signals help regulate lifespan extension in worms

Genetic experiments linked nerve-signaling molecules to a stress response and longer life in worms with restricted methionine, an amino acid used to build proteins.Genetic experiments linked nerve-signaling molecules to a stress response and longer life in worms with restricted methionine, an amino acid used to build proteins.
