  1. Long-lived C. elegans show expanded decrepitude, not slower ageing
    Study reinterprets Gompertz mortality parameters, showing lifespan extensions reflect expanded decrepitude rather than slowed biological ageing in C. elegans.
  2. Ancient DNA shows widespread selection across West Eurasia
    Ancient DNA analysis of 15,836 West Eurasian genomes reveals pervasive directional selection across hundreds of alleles over the past ten millennia, with measured effects on complex traits.
