#NuclearHormoneReceptor

This microscopic image illustrates how the nematode-trapping fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora captures its prey, the nematode C. elegans. The fungus expresses cytosolic green fluorescence, while the nematode expresses pan-neuronal red fluorescence.

How do nematodes evade fungal predators? This study reveals that a #NuclearHormoneReceptor alters the #nematode cuticle, allowing them to evade #fungal adhesive traps. But this is costly, as escaping worms are more delicate & sensitive to osmotic stress @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/45QMA1T
