A team of researchers has identified a mechanism that regulates the production of two different proteins from the same gene.

The study also showed that C. elegans metabolizes BBP in the same ... common plastic ingredient and the damage it causes to animal reproduction. The authors summarize: "Here, examining the female ...

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 ...

His laboratory recently identified more than 15 genes that act downstream of the C. elegans cell death protease CED-3 to ... which is an ancient developmental process crucial for the reproduction of ...

Another advantage of using C. elegans is that these worms have a simple physiology and easily manipulated genes. Later research has revealed even more about daf-2. The gene is now known to ...
