Nicotinamide and PNC1 govern lifespan extension by calorie restriction in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Calorie restriction extends lifespan in a broad range of organisms, from yeasts to mammals. Numerous hypotheses have been proposed to explain this phenomenon, including decreased oxidative damage and altered e...

Metabolic Regulation of Gene Silencing and Life Span
The timing of gene expression defines the particular activity of a single cell or tissue and ensures the proper development of the organism. In higher eukaryotes most genes are “silent,” meaning that they are ...
