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 ...

Researchers have developed a new imaging technique to observe active gene expression in real time. They found that four molecules work together to control the timing of each stage of the C. elegans ...

In a study published in the journal Developmental Cell, a cocktail of pharmaceutical drugs were recently found to extend the life of the microscopic worm, Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans). The ...

WOODS HOLE, Mass. – The nematode worm, C. elegans, is one of the most widely used animal models in biological research. In 1998, it became the first animal genome to be fully sequenced and, since then ...

This valuable study identifies a novel regulator of stress-induced gene quiescence in C. elegans: the multi-Zinc-finger protein ZNF-236. The work provides evidence for an active mechanism that ...

At first glimpse, C. elegans and people appear to have nothing in common. The nematode worm, whose full scientific name is Caenorhabditis elegans, measures about one millimeter in length, ...
