Chemical synchronization

1 paper5 findings

One worm study shows that chemical synchronisation slows development and reduces hatching versus picking laid eggs, while leaving chemosensory behaviour and wild-type lifespan unchanged. It is associated with lifespan variation in daf-16 loss-of-function mutants.

C, W, M, H: cells, worms or flies, mice, humans. Dark: independent labs found the same change there. Light: one lab or one study. Outline: nothing yet.

Labs are independent when their papers share no last author and no institution.

Against: findings that point the other way from most findings on the same outcome.

No results posted: trials that ended more than a year ago with no results on ClinicalTrials.gov and no paper in ARN’s record.

Company ties: findings with an author at a company, or from a paper whose competing-interests statement declares ties to one.
