Lsp2 links early-life diet to adult translation and lifespan in Drosophila

Nearly a century ago, restricting diet during early-life periods was suggested to extend lifespan in rats and in Daphnia1,2. The effect of juvenile diet on adult physiology and lifespan has subsequently been described in other model organisms, including fruit flies3, 4–5 and mice6, 7–8; however, its mechanism remains p...
