The earliest vertebrates all lived in the oceans, long before life conquered land. It is only natural, therefore, that genomes of fish species are important reference points for the understanding of evolution and development of land vertebrates. Recent results from a relatively close relative, the coelacanth, and a widely used model, the zebrafish, are particularly promising, as Michael Gross reports.

The Journal of Nutrition Symposium: Caloric Restriction and Delayed Biological Aging in Humans Starving for Life: What Animal Studies Can and Cannot Tell Us about the Use of Caloric Restriction to Prolong Human Lifespan

Caloric restriction (CR) is the only experimental nongenetic paradigm known to increase lifespan. It has broad applicability and extends the life of most species through a retardation of aging. There is considerable interest in the use of CR in humans, and animal studies can potentially tell us about the impacts. In this article we highlight some of the things that animal studies can tell us ab...

I decided to peruse issues of C&RL published over ...
