Abstract excerpt
The relationship between the mechanisms that control an organism's lifespan and its ability to respond to environmental challenges are poorly understood. In Caenorhabditis elegans, an insulin-like signaling pathway modulates lifespan and the innate immune response to bacterial pathogens via a common mechanism involving transcriptional regulation by the DAF-16/FOXO transcription factor. The C. elegans germ line...
