Cholinergic activation of HLH-30/TFEB promotes C. elegans infection resilience.

Swarupa Mallick, Xavier Gonzalez, Khursheed A. Wani…·Javier E. Irazoqui

This study identifies acetylcholine signaling via muscarinic receptors as a driver of HLH-30/TFEB activation, enhancing infection resilience in C. elegans.

Glucose-fed microbiota alters intestinal epithelium and increases susceptibility to bacterial pathogens

Samuel F. Kingsley, Yonghak Seo, Alicia Wood…·Heidi A. Tissenbaum

This study shows that a glucose-fed microbiota in C. elegans reduces lifespan and healthspan, increases intestinal permeability, and raises susceptibility to bacterial pathogens.
