A Role for SKN-1/Nrf in Pathogen Resistance and Immunosenescence in Caenorhabditis elegans
A proper immune response ensures survival in a hostile environment and promotes longevity. Recent evidence indicates that innate immunity, beyond antimicrobial effectors, also relies on host-defensive mechanisms. The Caenorhabditis elegans transcription factor SKN-1 regulates xenobiotic and oxidativ...
