Mortality rate increases with age and can accelerate upon extrinsic or intrinsic damage to individuals. Identifying factors and mechanisms that curb population mortality rate has wide-ranging implications. Here, we show that targeting the VHL-1 (Von Hippel-Lindau) protein suppresses mortality caused by distinct factors, including elevated reactive oxygen species, temperature, and , the genetic variant that confers high risks of neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's diseases and all-cause mortality in humans.

Early-life stress experiences can produce lasting impacts on organismal adaptation and fitness. How transient stress elicits memory-like physiological effects is largely unknown. Here, we show that early-life thermal stress strongly up-regulates , a gene encoding the conserved transmembrane tetraspanin in .
