Autophagy has been linked to longevity in turbo air m3f24-1-n many species, but the underlying mechanisms are unclear.Using a GFP-tagged and a new tandem-tagged Atg8/LGG-1 reporter, we quantified autophagic vesicles and performed autophagic flux assays in multiple tissues of wild-type Caenorhabditis elegans and long-lived daf-2/insulin/IGF-1 and gl
