Caenorhabditis elegans has long been established as a model organism for investigating the molecular determinants of organogenesis and cell fate specification. Vulval development exemplifies a highly ...

A new protocol extends live imaging time for C. elegans larvae and adults using light sheet fluorescence microscopy from 20 minutes to more than 2 hours, while avoiding heat stress in the specimen.

Researchers describe a new manner of detecting microbial infection that intercepts pathogen-derived signals of growth to assess the relative threat of virulent bacteria. A nuclear hormone receptor in ...

New research in C. elegans from scientists at Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) helps explain how changes in the parents’ lysosomes that promote longevity are transferred to their offspring.

An international team led by researchers at the University of Toronto has developed an efficient and robust system, using the C. elegans nematode, to screen for compounds that can stop the growth of ...

In a struggle that probably sounds familiar to dieters everywhere, the less a Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) worm eats, the more slowly it loses fat. Now, scientists at Scripps Research have ...

This study investigates the auditory sensation in the nematode C. elegans, demonstrating that these worms are capable of sensing and responding to airborne sound. The research outlines methods to ...

To understand the full relationship between brain activity and behavior, scientists need a way to map this relationship for all of the neurons across a whole brain, something that has so far remained ...
