摘要

With the support by the National Natural Science Foundation of China,a study by the research group led by Prof.Cai ShiQing (蔡时青) at the Institute of Neuroscience and State Key Laboratory of Neuroscience,CAS Center for Excellence in Brain Science and Intelligence Technology,Chinese Academy of Sciences demonstrates that genetic variation in a newly discovered neuropeptide-mediated glia-neuron signaling pathway influences the rate of aging in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans,which was published in Nature as a research article (2017,551(7679):198-203).
