Happy to share a new #preprints from lab led by @Gautam_sarkar1. We show that activated FOXO/DAF-16 senses somatic DNA damage to arrest germline development. Thanks BRIC-NII Department of Biotechnology SERB ICMR for funding. researchsquare.com/article/rs-111…

🚨🚨🚨Pre-print Alert🚨🚨🚨 Gut health as we age is important for all of us, even worms 🪱 and flies 🪰! Check out new work from Anupama Singh et al. on insulin-like peptides and intestinal integrity! Out now on bioRxiv : biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

How does an animal make decisions? Salk scientists discover goal-directed decision-making in worms with only 302 neurons. These findings from The Chalasani Lab pave the way for understanding the basis of motivation in larger more complex animals, such as humans. salk.edu/news-release/t…

wow!

🚨🚨🪱ALERT ALERT ALERT🪱🚨🚨 Sensory integration in #celegans : Intrepid post-doc Molly Matty ( Molly A. Matty ) and colleagues define a mechanism by which gut <-> brain signaling influences behavior. Out NOW in PLOS Genetics ! ➡️➡️🔗: bit.ly/mattyetalplosg…

Inhibition of early-acting autophagy genes in C. elegans neurons improves neuronal proteostasis and extends lifespan. We detail this surprising finding in our new preprint with Malene Hansen Lab and Meghan Lee Arnold at Driscoll lab. 1/4 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Happy to share our recent review on factors sculpting the microbiome in C. elegans royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…, part of new Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B issue on “Sculpting the microbiome” royalsocietypublishing.org/toc/rstb/2024/….

Host factors regulate bacterial gut adherence for specific bacteria LUAb3. Bacterial adherence changes intestinal structure dependent on host factors & affects barrier functions. Anupama Singh Luallen Lab San Diego State University #apwm2024

Cool paper describing the discovery of bacteria that adhere to the intestinal cells of C. elegans biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Check out their newest preprint too! Very cool host microbe work 🦠 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
