Happy to share final version of our work in @eLife! We reveal how inhibiting the UFD-1-NPL-4 complex in C. elegans triggers an aberrant immune response, reducing pathogen load but ultimately compromising host survival. @aaballay1 @RajneeshRao16 @DBS_IISERM
elifesciences.org
Inhibition of the UFD-1-NPL-4 complex activates immune responses in Caenorhabditis elegans that reduce gut pathogen load but simultaneously compromise host survival.
