ABSTRACT

How sensory neurons coordinate organismal aging in response to changes in environmental signals remains elusive. Artan et al. show that a subset of sensory neurons shortens C. elegans’ life span by differentially regulating the expression of a specific insulin-like peptide (ILP), INS-6. INS-6 in turn relays the longevity signals to nonneuronal tissues by decreasing the activity of the transcription factor DAF-16/FOXO.
