BMP signaling to pharyngeal muscle in the <i>C. elegans</i> response to a bacterial pathogen regulates anti-microbial peptide expression and pharyngeal pumping
2023-03-08
Abstract excerpt
Host response to pathogens recruits multiple tissues in part through conserved cell signaling pathways. In C. elegans , the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) like DBL-1 signaling pathway has a role in the response to infection in addition to other roles in development and post-developmental functions. In the regulation of body size, the DBL-1 pathway acts through cell autonomous signal activation in the epidermis...
