How prolonged expression of Hunchback, a temporal transcription factor, re-wires locomotor circuits.

abstract：:Ageing is characterised by cellular senescence, leading to imbalanced tissue maintenance, cell death and compromised organ function. This is first observed in the thymus, the primary lymphoid organ that generates and selects T cells. However, the molecular and cellular mechanisms underpinning these ageing processes re...
