This study highlights a novel mechanism of gut-to-brain communication crucial for lipid metabolism. In a recent study published in Nature Communications, researchers identify an endogenous insulin ...

In a struggle that probably sounds familiar to dieters everywhere, the less a Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) worm eats, the more slowly it loses fat. Now, scientists at Scripps Research have ...

Ten consecutive tissue sections from a single C. elegans nematode, shown as optical images (left stack) and corresponding lipid distribution maps generated by MALDI mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) ...

A new microfluidic method preserves worm anatomy to link lipid signals with body structure using mass spectrometry imaging. Understanding how fat molecules are distributed and function in living ...

Researchers describe a new manner of detecting microbial infection that intercepts pathogen-derived signals of growth to assess the relative threat of virulent bacteria. A nuclear hormone receptor in ...
