Researchers led by Daeyoung Kim (Scientific Reports, 2025) offer a novel look at healthy aging by quantifying bending and pumping rates in C. elegans. Their study integrates lifespan data with muscle function metrics, showing that normalized movement indices serve as accurate biomarkers. This approach aids experimental comparisons and may guide future longevity research.

Q&A

  • What are bending rates?
  • How are dynamic-scaled values used?
