Qinghua Zhou of the University of Colorado and colleagues examined the C. elegans cells using electron microscopy and tomography, finding that the paternal mitochondria started to self-destruct even ...

High-resolution images of C. elegans germline mitochondria are arranged in a pattern resembling a flower pistil, representing the researchers’ artistic interpretation of a new research ...

Our findings demonstrate that mitochondria dynamics do not regulate apoptosis activation in C. elegans and reveal distinct roles for drp-1 and fis-2 as mediators of cell-death execution downstream of ...

The study "Growth on stiffer substrates impacts animal health and longevity in C. elegans" appeared online ... including the ...

But first, let's explain what mitochondria are ... To find answers, they experimented with a small worm known as C. elegans. Despite its small size, this worm shares many similarities with ...

Mitochondrial dysfunction has long been associated with aging, making preventing or reversing the organelle’s decay a high priority for longevity researchers. One key target for such work is the ...
