Autofluorescence as a noninvasive biomarker of senescence and advanced glycation end products in Caenorhabditis elegans
Abstract To assess the utility of autofluorescence as a noninvasive biomarker of senescence in Caenorhabditis elegans, we measured the autofluorescence of individual nematodes using spectrofluorometry. The fluorescence of each worm increased with age. Animals with lower fluorescence intensity exhibi...
