Abstract
Temperature-sensing neurons in C.elegans reduce the life-shortening effects of high temperatures via steroid signaling. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Chen etal. (2016) elucidate the underlying mechanisms by which the transcription factor CREB induces the neuropeptide FLP-6 in the temperature-sensing neurons to counteract the life-shortening effects of high temperature.
