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 ...

The worm C. elegans has been a powerful model for understanding many types of biological processes, says Jayakrishnan ...

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

The researchers sought the simplest method to apply mechanical stress for the microscopic nematode worm model organism C.

We have engineered C. elegans to express human beta amyloid peptide ... changes resulting from beta amyloid expression in this model system, in hopes of understanding the cellular and molecular ...

Nematodes — a class of worms that feed on smaller micro-organisms — have been the model of success for several Nobel Prize ...

Scientists built a microfluidic lab-on-a-chip device that accelerates compound screens and phenotype analyses in C. elegans models of reproductive aging. Deanna earned their PhD in cellular biology ...

This study presents useful findings on the differences between male and hermaphrodite C. elegans connectomes and how they may result in changes in locomotory behavioural outputs. However, the study ...

One of the foremost molecular biologists of the 20th century, the Nobel laureate established C. elegans as a model organism, mapping its genes and development. Kerry served as The Scientist’s news ...

This study investigates the auditory sensation in the nematode C. elegans, demonstrating that these worms are capable of sensing and responding to ...
