RICTOR regulates an interspecies crosstalk that influences longevity through a novel methionine cycle-mitophagy axis

Simran Motwani, Somya Bhandari, Shivani Chitkara…·Arnab Mukhopadhyay

This study identifies RICTOR as a regulator of dietary plasticity in C. elegans, showing it modulates longevity through a methionine cycle-mitophagy axis influenced by bacterial vitamin B12.
