摘要
Although the underlying mechanisms of ageing are not understood, it is known that the longevity of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is modulated by an insulin/IGF-signalling pathway. The focus now is on how this pathway is regulated, how it controls nematode ageing, and how this relates to the ageing process in higher animals.
