The Caenorhabditis elegans Myc-Mondo/Mad complexes integrate diverse longevity signals.

The Myc family of transcription factors regulates a variety of biological processes, including the cell cycle, growth, proliferation, metabolism, and apoptosis. In Caenorhabditis elegans, the "Myc interaction network" consists of two opposing heterodimeric complexes with antagonistic funct...
