The paper shows that the NLP-12 neuropeptide system in C. elegans modulates head and body motor circuits through CKR-1 and CKR-2 GPCRs to regulate food search behavior.
Steffen Möller, Nadine Saul, Alan Arthur Cohen…·Georg Fuellen
The paper compiles healthspan-related gene pathways in C. elegans and humans using literature review and molecular interaction data, identifying common themes like transcription and lipids.
