Reevaluation of whether a soma–to–germ-line transformation extends lifespan in Caenorhabditis elegans

The germ lineage is considered to be immortal. In the quest to extend lifespan, a possible strategy is to drive germ-line traits in somatic cells, to try to confer some of the germ lineage’s immortality on the somatic body.
