To top it all off, C. elegans shares many biological pathways with humans, making it an excellent model for understanding fundamental processes such as aging, neurobiology and cell differentiation.
What does the sex of worms have to do with human kidneys? See how C. elegans research has unlocked scientists' understanding of polycystic kidney disease.
Showing that the popular model system C. elegans could be used to screen small molecules for amyloid binders is an exciting ...
The Nematode C. elegans, aka the worm, is a powerful system to approach ... Exploiting the invariant lineage, our long-term interest is to use the worm as a model to understand how to build a complex ...
vector-free expression constructs in C. elegans that are generated, for example, by PCR fusion 6. If expression constructs were generated by subcloning, constructs may be PCR-amplified without the ...
Study finds ketone esters help clear misfolded proteins in preclinical models of aging and Alzheimer’s disease.
Three of C. elegans' primary regulators of apoptosis ... with CED-4 had exactly the opposite effect: In the canonical model, CED-9 anchors CED-4 to cells' mitochondria, sequestering the CED ...
