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....

Iron-deplete diet enhances Caenorhabditis elegans lifespan via oxidative stress response pathways | The EMBO Journal
imageimageGut microbes are key modulators of host lifespan, yet the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study shows that gut microbes, which induce oxidative stress in Caenorhabditis elegans, extend the host’s lifespan by ...
