| Delaying aging by inhibiting mitochondrial respirationThe CLK-1 ("clock") pathway is a major conserved regulator of longevity: in organisms as diverse as mice and worms, mutations in the CLK-1 gene delay development and extend the lifespan. A new study from the Kenyon lab demonstrates that CLK-1 mutations act by inhibiting mitochondrial respiration, probably by blocking the producing of the essential mitochondrial cofactor ubiquinone (coenzyme Q). |
