NMDA Receptor Subunit NMR-2 Regulates Pathogen-Induced Immune Responses via the Nervous System in C. elegans

Benson Otarigho, Jonathan Lalsiamthara, Alejandro Aballay

This study shows that NMR-2, an NMDA receptor subunit in C. elegans, regulates pathogen-induced immune responses through neural circuits involving PMK-1, DAF-16, and HLH-30 pathways.
