Mifepristone Increases Life Span in Female Drosophila Without Detectable Antibacterial Activity Open
Mifepristone dramatically increases the life span of mated female Drosophila while reducing the expression of innate immune response genes. Previous results indicated that mifepristone also reduced the load of aero-tolerant bacteria in mat…

Mifepristone Increases Life Span of Virgin Female Drosophila on Regular and High-fat Diet Without Reducing Food Intake Open
Background: The synthetic steroid mifepristone is reported to have anti-obesity and anti-diabetic effects in mammals on normal and high-fat diets (HFD). We previously reported that mifepristone blocks the negative effect on life span cause…

Contrasting duplication patterns reflect functional diversities of <i>ubiquitin</i> and <i>ubiquitin‐like protein modifiers</i> in plants Open
Summary Ubiquitin (Ub) and Ub‐like proteins, collectively forming the ubiquiton family, regulate nearly all aspects of cellular processes via post‐translational modifications. Studies devoted to specific members suggested a large expansion…
