The precursor of PI(3,4,5)P3 alleviates aging by activating daf-18(Pten) and independent of daf-16

P2 to PI(3,4,5)P3 and is encoded by the age-1 gene known to regulate lifespan. Here the researchers found that the metabolite myo-inositol, which can be converted to PI(3,4,5)P3 extends worm lifespan …
