Why does eating less extend lifespan? 🧬 Mutation accumulation underpins evolution of lifespan extension by dietary restriction We often think about saving energy or recycling waste - but we show how evolution acting on mutation load can generate longer life on low food 🧵 🔗 tinyurl.com/jn5ryhxv

Restricting calories has been linked to living longer in many studies, and now it seems that the drug rapamycin has nearly the same effect, at least in animals

Check out our new preprint where we explored the link between male ageing and gut microbiota in fruit flies! It has been a pleasure to work with @mdonertas.bsky.social 😊
