Methuselah Flies presents a trailblazing project on the biology of aging. These organisms are fruit flies from the species Drosophila melanogaster, the great workhorse of genetics. It describes research on the first organisms to have their lifespan increased, and their aging slowed, by hereditary manipulation.
The study of these flies with postponed aging is one of the best means we have of understanding, and ultimately achieving, the postponement of aging in humans. Michael Rose and his colleagues have been able to double the lifespan of these insects, and improved their health in numerous respects as well. As such, the carefully presented detail of this book will be of value to research devoted to the understanding and control of aging.
