  "summary": "Yeast cells can remain viable for extended periods after entering stationary phase, a survival trait measured as chronological lifespan (CLS). Although CLS is well characterized in Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a model of postmitotic aging, its relevance to human-associated fungi remains poorly understood. Candida species of the CTG (CUG-Ser1) clade vary widely in ecology and clinical importance,…",
