Direct Pharmacological Activation of AMPK Extends Lifespan in Yeast, Worms and Flies #Drosophila

Our new study just out @nature.com Together with Koshi Imami @RIKEN IMS, Hina Kosakamoto found out the key molecule mediating lifespan extension by early life dietary restriction! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🔋 Scientists have extended lifespan in yeast, worms and flies by activating AMPK, the cells’ equivalent of an ‘energy saver’ mode. In some cases, animals lived over 25% longer. 🔗 Read the publication: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... 🔗 Read our web story: lms.mrc.ac.uk/experts-sign...
