Potential relevance to longevity and/or ageing

Observations
Tissue-specific overexpression of dPGC-1 in stem and progenitor cells within the digestive tract of female flies extends lifespan. Flies display a delay in the onset of aging-related changes in the intestine, leading to improved tissue homeostasis in old flies.
% change in max lifespan
Maximum female lifespan is up to 37% higher.
% change in avg or median lifespan
Median female lifespan is up to 33% higher.
Lifespan Effect
Increase
Genetic Manipulation
Overexpression in stem and progenitor cells
Longevity Category
Pro-Longevity
