A PPAR-gamma counterpart protects worm neurons by coordinating lipids and mitochondria
Researchers show that SEX-1 regulates sphingolipid metabolism and mitochondrial quality control in Caenorhabditis elegans, but its protective activity…Researchers show that SEX-1 regulates sphingolipid metabolism and mitochondrial quality control in Caenorhabditis elegans, but its protective activity declines with age.

Alpha-synuclein impairs triglyceride metabolism and mitochondrial structure in aging nematodes
Restoring lipid balance through medium-chain triglycerides or fatty acid inhibition protected worms from alpha-synuclein-driven movement deficits.Restoring lipid balance through medium-chain triglycerides or fatty acid inhibition protected worms from alpha-synuclein-driven movement deficits.
