Role of SARM in Pathogen Resistance: Studies in Mammals and C. elegans

Exploring the function of SARM, a key factor in pathogen resistance, through mammalian and C. elegans studies. Topics include SARM expression patterns and experimental overviews involving immune cells and reporter assays. The mouse targeted deletion mutant strategy and retroviral insertional mutagenesis are also discussed.
