DAF-16 and SMK-1 Contribute to Innate Immunity During Adulthood in Caenorhabditis elegans

DAF-16 and SMK-1 Contribute to Innate Immunity During Adulthood in Caenorhabditis elegans

Aging is accompanied by a progressive decline in immune function termed “immunosenescence”. Deficient surveillance coupled with the impaired function of immune cells compromises host defense in older animals. The dynamic activity of regulatory modules that control immunity appears to underlie age-de...
