Measuring Aging in Flies and Worms

Description

Measuring aging in flies and worms helps scientists study lifespan. Lifespan is the time between birth and death. After animals reach adulthood, many stop growing and begin aging, or senescence, until they die.

Scientists use different growth conditions to learn which biological and environmental...

Levensduurkwantificeringsexperimenten stellen wetenschappers in staat om de genetische en omgevingsinvloeden op de levensduur van een organisme te onderzoeken. Ongewervelde modelorganismen, zoals de fruitvlieg Drosophila melanogaster en de rondworm Caenorhabditis elegans, zijn hierbij uiterst nuttig geblek...
