I am reading a new published paper “An age-dependent reversal in the protective capacities of JNK signaling shortens Caenorhabditis elegans lifespan”. And I got couple of questions…
Basically they examined the effects of vhp-1 knock-down on lifespan. What they performed was rearing worms on dead food bacteria to observe the lifespan. Since I donot work on lifeapan stuff, I have no idea why they let the worms eating daed food bacteria instead of normal food.
FYI: They did try to compare different food effect on lifeapan.
Any comments are welcome. If you are also reading the paper, I will be very happy to discuss with you. Thank you in advance.
