1. Heat increases NOS in A. gambiae.

   “warmer temperature and aging interact to increase the expression of both NOS and JNK”

1. Temperature inhibits immune response in A. gambiae.

   “warmer temperature amplifies the aging-dependent decrease in immune gene expression”

   Model organisms

   Warmer temperature accelerates senescence by modifying the aging-dependent changes in the mosquito transcriptome, altering immunity, metabolism, and DNA repair
