Sexual identity of enterocytes regulates autophagy to determine intestinal health, lifespan and responses to rapamycin

Pharmacological attenuation of mTOR presents a promising route for delay of age-related disease. Here we show that treatment of Drosophila with the mTOR inhibitor rapamycin extends lifespan in females, but not in males. Female-specific, age-related gut pathology is markedly slowed by rapamycin treat...
