THE SOMATIC REPRODUCTIVE TISSUES OF C. ELEGANS PROMOTE LONGEVITY THROUGH STEROID HORMONE SIGNALING.

In Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster, removing the germline precursor cells increases lifespan.In worms, and possibly also in flies, this lifespan extension requires the presence of somatic reproductive tissues.How the somatic gonad signals other tissues to increase lifespan is not known.The lifespan increase triggered by loss of t

Freight transport in urban areas entails benefits (i.e.free access to goods when needed), but also negative externalities (environmental, social and transportation impacts).In response to these problems, the concept of city logistics emerged, for the purpose of planning, organizing, coordinating and controlling physical and information flows chains
