Stress Responses and Pathogen Detection in C. elegans
The chapter explores experiments on C. elegans showing their ability to preemptively detect and respond to stressors, such as pathogenic bacteria, through smell. It discusses how stress response pathways activate in sensory neurons, impacting the rest of the body and potential advancements in pathogen detection. The chapter also delves into mitochondrial stress responses, the connection between stress response mechanisms and germline cells, and the importance of maintaining mitochondrial quality for cellular health.
