Pore-Forming Protein LIN-24 Enhances Starvation Resilience in <i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i> by Modulating Lipid Metabolism and Mitochondrial Dynamics
The ability to survive starvation is a critical evolutionary adaptation, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying this capability remain incompletely understood. Pore-forming proteins (PFPs) are typically associated with immune defense, where they disturb the membranes of target cells. However, the r...
