And it's a fantastic system to study aging because, well, one it's transparent. So you can actually see the tissues aging in real time day after day. But two, it lives a very short time. It lives about 15 to 20 days, and that's the big advantage because you can go through lots and lots of experiments very, very quickly, fairly economically, and therefore, you can study lots of compounds and look for things that extend lifespan.
