    A scenario for an evolutionary selection of ageing

    Tristan Roget, Claire Macmurray ... Michael Rera
    Ageing is broadly accepted as a by-product of evolution, as thus, models allowing to conceive ageing as an adaptive force of evolution could show significant importance at a time of biogerontology mostly aiming at curing ageing.

    Human DCP1 is crucial for mRNA decapping and possesses paralog-specific gene regulating functions

    Ting-Wen Chen, Hsiao-Wei Liao ... Chung-Te Chang
    For mRNA decapping by enhancing DCP2's mRNA-binding affinity and regulating distinct biological processes through DCP1a and DCP1b, human DCP1 is essential.

    Calcineurin inhibition enhances Caenorhabditis elegans lifespan by defecation defects-mediated calorie restriction and nuclear hormone signaling

    Priyanka Das, Alejandro Aballay, Jogender Singh
    Calcineurin inhibition has opposing effects on Caenorhabditis elegans lifespan and survival on pathogens via its role in the defecation motor program.
