Abstract
Riera et al. identify a neuroendocrine circuit that controls longevity and the age-dependent onset of metabolic decline via the pain-transducing channel TRPV1. Thus, pharmacological inhibition of TRPV1 may provide a new approach to treat not only metabolic disorders but also a broader range of age-related pathologies.
