Genetics of Aging in the Fruit Fly,Drosophila melanogaster

Helfand, Stephen L., Rogina, Blanka·2003·Annual Review of Genetics

Abstract

▪ Abstract Research into the mechanisms underlying the process of aging is emerging as an exciting area of biomedical research. Observations challenging the fundamental assumptions of aging have begun to rejuvenate the field, opening up aging research to fresh ideas and approaches. Genetic approaches, which have been successfully used to understand other complex biological phenomena, are beginning to reveal important patterns and conservations between the processes of aging in a variety of species including yeast, nematodes, flies, and mice. A combination of candidate and random gene alteration approaches, particularly in the fruitfly model system, Drosophila melanogaster, should prove to be especially valuable for elucidating the primary physiological systems involved in aging and life span determination.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Genes that regulate lifespan in animal models and human studies, and multiple experimental paradigms, have demonstrated that it is possible to manipulate ageing biology to rejuvenate physiological functioning in complex model organisms.

    “Genes that regulate lifespan in animal models6–9 and human studies10–14 as well as multiple experimental paradigms, such as caloric restriction, heterochronic parabiosis and partial epigenetic reprogramming, have demonstrated that it is possible to manipulate ageing biology to ‘rejuvenate’ physiological functioning in complex model organisms15–28.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
