I’m thrilled to share that our latest work, led by PhD scholar Priyanka Das, is published in @embojournal.org!
Using a bacterial mutant library screen, we identified that bacterial-induced ROS extends C. elegans lifespan by disrupting its iron homeostasis. www.embopress.org/doi/full/10....

Pleased to share our latest work by Shivani and Subodh. We show that the essential amino acid Trp is highly toxic to C. elegans. It turns out that the bacterial diet is the culprit. Bacterial metabolism of Trp to indole causes the toxicity.

Methionine cycle in C. elegans serotonergic neurons regulates diet-dependent behaviour and longevity through neuron-gut signaling - Nature Communications
The authors show that in C. elegans, Vitamin B12-driven changes in neuronal methionine cycle trigger a neuron-gut signalling axis, involving serotonin and neuropeptide secretion that modulate stress t...
