Abstract excerpt
Robust transcriptional responses are critical for defense against infection. However, unrestrained immune responses can cause negative impacts such as damaging inflammation and slowed development. Here, we find that a class of transcriptional regulators previously associated with regulation of development in Caenorhabditis elegans, is also involved in repressing immune responses. Specifically, through forward...
