The fatty acid oleate is required for innate immune activation and pathogen defense in Caenorhabditis elegans
Fatty acids affect a number of physiological processes, in addition to forming the building blocks of membranes and body fat stores. In this study, we uncover a role for the monounsaturated fatty acid oleate in the innate immune response of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. From an RNAi screen fo...
