New insights into how parental worms protect their offspring
Parental exposure of Caenorhabditis elegans to pathogens can protect offspring against similar threats, but the bacterial cues and intergenerational signals underlying this response remain poorly understood. A recent study in Cell revealed a novel mechanism of intergenerational protection against natural pathogens, facilitated by the cyanoalanine synthase CYSL-2 and its detoxification intermediate.
