Out in print in Geroscience by @rosealsaadi.bsky.social: Pro‑longevity compounds extend Caenorhabditis elegans male lifespan and reproductive healthspan. Most interventions that help hermaphrodites also improve male lifespan, not necessarily reproductive heathspan. link.springer.com/epdf/10.1007...

Make males live more than 400% longer and prevent sexual disfunction late in life?! We're down with it. Our latest preprint: Disruption of the insulin signaling pathway in C. elegans dramatically increases male longevity and enhances reproductive health late in life. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
#worm25 making sure we get our steps in

Graph showing that the broccoli derivative sulforaphane makes the transcriptome of treated individuals look "younger" than untreated controls.
New preprint. This is a fun one. Eat your broccoli, but not too much! The broccoli derivative sulforaphane extends lifespan by slowing the transcriptional aging clock www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Go worms! #worm25
