The totality of bacteria, viruses and fungi that exist in and on a multicellular organism forms its natural microbiome. The ...

Many studies have shown that arsenite is a potent inducer of apoptosis both in cells and tissues. However, there is a lack of appropriate in vivo animal models to study the underlying mechanisms of ...

A protein's dual role. Three of C. elegans' primary regulators of apoptosis actively promote cell death, whereas just one, CED-9, reins in the apoptosis-promoting proteins to keep cells alive.

A staple in laboratories worldwide, C. elegans is “an experimental dream,” said one scientist. Science | These Tiny Worms Account for at Least 4 Nobel Prizes ...

C. elegans is a species of nematode worm, and the adults are approximately 1mm in length with 959 somatic cells. Its transparent body consists of three layers; an epidermal layer, ...

Recently, the team led by Prof. HUANG Qing at the Institute of Intelligent Machines, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) provided a new photodynamic agent and introduces C. elegans as an ...

Introduction. C. elegans is a well-established model for germline development and for aging. Several interesting related areas of study include how the C. elegans germ line regulates longevity (see ...

He made his discoveries using C. elegans, a tiny nematode that contains exactly 959 cells. The developmental lineage of each cell is known, and embryonic development follows the same pattern every ...

Yuan learned about developmental cell death in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans during a 1983 lecture given by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) biologist H. Robert Horvitz. Yuan says, “A ...

For example, apoptosis in the hands and feet allows individual fingers and toes to form, by killing cells in the spaces in between them. In the March 2019 study, the researchers focused on the ...
