Expression of Heat Shock Protein 70 Is Insufficient To Extend Drosophila melanogaster Longevity

It has been known for over 20 years that Drosophila melanogaster flies with twelve additional copies of the hsp70 gene encoding the 70 kD heat shock protein lives longer after a non-lethal heat treatment. Since the heat treatment also induces the expression of additional heat shock proteins, the bio...
