Indicted: worms caught using steroids.

Cell - 24 Mar 2006

Beckstead Robert B, Thummel Carl S

Abstract excerpt

Three recent papers provide new insights into endocrinology in the worm Caenorhabditis elegans. These studies identify natural steroid ligands for the DAF-12 nuclear receptor, define a new enzyme in the hormone biosynthetic pathway, and clarify the role of endocrine signaling in adult longevity.
