The paper identifies a preoptic neurocircuit that modulates metabolic flexibility by shifting fuel use from glucose to fatty acids through insulin resistance in skeletal muscle.

This study shows that inducing a torpor-like state in mice slows blood epigenetic aging and improves healthspan by reducing core body temperature.

This study identifies GPX4 as a conserved suppressor of cold-induced cell death through multi-species CRISPR screens in hibernators and non-hibernators.

The paper identifies a heat shock factor, hsalHSF2, that contributes to extended lifespan in reproductive ants and shows its transferable role in enhancing survival in fruit flies.
