Happy to present a single cell atlas of ALL glia, in BOTH sexes of an animal (in vivo validated!)! Fab work by postdoc @glia-maria.bsky.social, team, & collaboration with @manusetty.bsky.social . Find insights into glia, new analytics and ML models, and browse our companion website (wormglia.org)

Bacterial metabolism of tryptophan causes toxicity in Caenorhabditis elegans https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.06.09.658597v1

Pleased to share our latest work by Shivani and Subodh. We show that the essential amino acid Trp is highly toxic to C. elegans. It turns out that the bacterial diet is the culprit. Bacterial metabolism of Trp to indole causes the toxicity. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Methionine cycle in C. elegans serotonergic neurons regulates diet-dependent behaviour and longevity through neuron-gut signaling www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Love worms, molecular genetics, and big questions? We’re hiring a postdoc to build a CRISPRa toolkit to identify new aging mechanisms in C. elegans. Email or DM me to find out more. Please share & repost!

Worm people: We need YOU to help recruit more mentees for the C. elegans Community Mentor Match program! 🪱✨ 📢 Help us sign up more mentees by sharing this this slide with your lab in your next lab meeting!

Worm friends: The C. elegans Community Mentor Match Program is signing up mentees! Click on the link to be matched with a mentor and/or to join a peer-mentoring group. Please spread the word, and share with your lab members and worm friends! 📢 1/n

The first one is some crazy work by @monmitabhar.bsky.social, Tanumoy, @hari-flies.bsky.social and Kamal Kishore. They eavesdropped on worm conversations and found the exciting phenomenon of movement of memory from one worm to another 2/n www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Iron-deplete diet enhances Caenorhabditis elegans lifespan via oxidative stress response pathways https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.02.11.637611v1

Happy to share our latest work led by grad student Priyanka Das. Using a genome-wide bacterial screen, we identify that dietary iron limitation extends C. elegans lifespan via its oxidative stress response pathways. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Happy to share a review by grad student Ravi on the complex crosstalk between redox homeostasis and hypoxia signaling in the FEBS Journal. We also discuss the future research prospects at this exciting interface. febs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
