Abstract excerpt
Insulin/Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) signaling (IIS) is a pleiotropic signaling pathway that functions across tissues to coordinate phenotypic changes in response to nutrient status. Thus, the ubiquity of the IIS pathway hinders efforts to elucidate the mechanisms driving specific IIS-related phenotypes. Previous research in the nematode worm C. elegans has demonstrated that loss of function of the IIS...
