Indicted: Worms Caught using Steroids
Copyright policy )Indicted: Worms Caught using Steroids
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.
