Study links Lsp2 to early-life diet, adult protein synthesis and lifespan in fruit flies
Nature describes a study that used isotope tracing to follow the fate of larval dietary amino acids in adult fruit flies. It identifies Lsp2 as a key regulator of protein synthesis and lifespan.
TLDR
Nature reports that researchers used isotope tracing to examine what happens to amino acids from fruit flies’ larval diets in adulthood. The paper identifies Lsp2 as a key regulator of adult protein synthesis and lifespan.
