"C. elegans shares many genes and mechanisms with humans. So, we thought that the cause of the decline in brain function over time in C. elegans may apply to humans." This study took advantage of ...

In a study published in 2023, young and old Caenorhabditis elegans worms treated with the drug – which is normally used to ...

New brain-inspired hardware, architectures and algorithms could lead to more efficient, more capable forms of AI.

Researchers may have stumbled upon the secret to anti-aging medication in a pill that's already widely used and readily ...

C. elegans shares many genes and mechanisms with humans. So, we thought that the cause of the decline in brain function over time in C. elegans may apply to humans." "Our previous studies found ...

Another advantage of using C. elegans is that these worms have a simple physiology and easily manipulated genes. Later research has revealed even more about daf-2. The gene is now known to ...

The surface chemistry of two worm species has been found to play a crucial role in their interaction with the environment and ...

Imagine a world where worms can hear. While it may sound like science fiction, researchers at the University of Michigan have discovered that the nematode C. elegans, a commonly studied model organism ...
