The lin-4 Gene Controls Fat Accumulation and Longevity in Caenorhabditis elegans

Previous studies have determined that lin-4, which was the first miRNA to be discovered, controls the timing of cell fate determination and life span in Caenorhabditis elegans. However, the mechanism of lin-4 involvement in these processes remains poorly understood. Fat storage is an essential aspec...
