A new Drosophila model of prolonged inactivity shortens lifespan and impairs muscle function
Abstract Prolonged inactivity due to medical conditions can cause chronic muscle disuse and lead to physical incapacity and poor quality of life. Here, we developed a Drosophila model of confinement inactivity (CI) to observe its effects on lifespan and muscle function. We found that, similar to mam...
