Excited to share that our work from RIKEN is now published in Nature! 🎉
We uncovered how protein intake during development shapes lifespan and identified a mechanism that transmits a “nutritional memory” into adulthood.

A fruit-fly protein thought only to store amino acids in fact responds to nutritional deficiency in both development and adulthood, resulting in lifespan extension
