Figure 1 A Working Model Explaining How dPGC-1 Might Regulate ISC Aging and Organismal Aging as Demonstrated in the Study by Rera et al dPGC-1 overexpression in intestinal stem cells (ISC) and immediate progenitor cells enteroblasts (EB) leads to an increase in mitochondrial activity and a decrease in intracellular ROS levels throughout the intestinal epithelium. dPGC1 overexpression prevents age-related loss of intestinal homeostasis and integrity and promotes longevity in Drosophila.
