Autophagy Gene atg-18 Regulates C. elegans Lifespan Cell Non-Autonomously by Neuropeptide SignalingIn the round worm it has recently been shown that autophagy, a highly conserved lysosomal degradation pathway that is present in all eukaryotic cells, is required for maintaining healthspan and for ...
Mutations in the insulin‐like receptor gene daf‐2 force C.elegans to constitutively form dauer larva at higher temperature. It has been reported that autophagy is required for fat accumulation in daf‐2 dauer larva. However, the mechanism underlying this process remains unknown. Here, we report...
