Most C. elegans are hermaphrodites capable of self-fertilization, typically producing hermaphroditic offspring with two X chromosomes. Males, with their single X chromosome, arise due to errors during ...

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 ...

The results of this work reveal how an alternative splicing mechanism regulates an essential factor for neuronal identity.

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

Interestingly, only restoration of DAF-2 in neurons was sufficient to restore lifespan and reproduction of DAF ... of various essential functions in C. elegans, and the metabolic and reproductive ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
