Single-type neuron transcriptomics uncovers cell-type-specific regulators of host defense in Caenorhabditis elegans

Phillip Wibisono, Yiyong Liu, Jingru Sun

The paper identifies cell-type-specific regulators of host defense in C. elegans neurons using single-type neuron transcriptomics, revealing genes critical for immune response that are missed in bulk RNA-seq.

Neuronal GPCR NMUR-1 regulates energy homeostasis in response to pathogen infection

Phillip Wibisono, Yiyong Liu, Kenneth P. Roberts…·Jingru Sun

This study shows that NMUR-1 in C. elegans neurons controls energy homeostasis and innate immune specificity through ATP regulation in response to bacterial pathogens.
