Article Synopsis
- The study compares the effects of FUdR and an auxin inducible strain (PX627) on nematode offspring control and mitochondrial health during aging.
- FUdR was found to enhance lifespan, health parameters, and mitochondrial function in nematodes, but may cause misleading results due to its impact on mitochondrial DNA.
- Using PX627 with auxin offers a potentially safer alternative for studying aging and mitochondrial function without the toxic side effects of FUdR.
