Open AccessGDF11 slows excitatory neuronal senescence and brain ageing by repressing p21
As a major neuron type in the brain, the excitatory neuron (EN) regulates the lifespan in C. elegans. How the EN acquires senescence, however, is unknown. Here, we show that growth differentiation factor 11 (G...
