Integration of carbohydrate metabolism and redox state controls dauer larva formation in Caenorhabditis elegans.
2015
When facing environmental stress, the roundworm C. elegans forms so-called dauer larvae. Here, the authors show that dauer formation is influenced by cellular levels of the cofactor NADPH, which can be elevated by increasing biosynthesis of the disaccharide trehalose.
