Do you perform C. elegans heat stress experiments? Are they inconsistent? Humidity may be a factor! .New finding by Michelle and Diego: Low humidity enhances thermotolerance in Caenorhabditis elegans .First micropublication for the Kumsta Lab!.

The Kumsta Lab is now funded by the @NIA! It was a long road to get here with the first submission in Oct 2020, then July 2021, then Oct 2022 and finally Nov 2023!!! .I kept on working on it, strengthened the preliminary data, simplified the writing and got lucky in the end!

Great collaboration with the Hansen and Driscoll Lab, and a great conclusion to a long project! Congratulations to all co-authors!.
Online now! Yang et al. show that inhibition of early-acting autophagy genes in neurons extend C. elegans lifespan, improve proteostasis, and increase #exopher formation via the autonomous WD40 domain-related function of ATG-16.2. @kumsta @thehansenlab
