Male Caenorhabditis elegans undergo a radical remodeling of their anal depressor during late larval stage 4. In both hermaphrodites and males, the larval anal depressor primarily functions as a defecation behavior. However, ...
-
(2012-12-06)All complex organisms possess a nervous system which they use to monitor environmental and internal stimuli. In higher vertebrates, the nervous system is comprised of billions of cells which form highly plastic neural ...
-
(2013-08-01)Radiation induced bystander effects have changed our understanding of the biological effects of ionizing radiations. The original assumption was that biological effects require direct damage to DNA. The bystander effect ...
-
(2017-02-16)Mycobacterium marinum is a medically important aquatic pathogen that causes cutaneous granulomatous lesions in humans and a chronic tuberculosis-like granulomatous disease in ectotherms. M. marinum is commonly used as a ...
-
(2012-07-16)The nervous system coordinates a sequence of muscle movements to give rise to animal behaviors. In complex invertebrates or lab-studied vertebrates, due to the large number of cells in their nervous systems and the ...
-
(2010-07-14)The circuits that allow organisms to control behavioral timing need to be tightly regulated to ensure execution of appropriate environmental responses. Disrupting such regulation results in individuals unable to perform ...
-
(2022-03-14)The mitochondrion goes beyond just the “powerhouse of the cell”. As incredibly important as this organelle is, there is still much about its biology that remains unclear. Mitochondrial variation, historically, has often ...
-
(2015-04-03)The extracellular matrix is a meshwork of molecules that reside in the microenvironment between cells. Extracellular matrix, while historically known as an inert scaffold, is critical in regulating cell communication, ...
-
(2012-02-14)The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, with its sequenced genome, compact nervous system and stereotyped behaviors is an ideal model organism in which to study the integration of sensory input with motor output. Male mating ...
-
(2009-06-09)This research identifies a gene that potentially works acetylcholine receptor protein GAR-3. We isolated nematodes (roundworm) Caenorhabditis elegans that are resistant to the drug arecoline, which stimulates behaviors ...
-
The neuromolecular mechanisms that coordinate food availability with C. elegans male sexual behavior (2009-05-15)Organisms must coordinate behavioral and physiological responses to changingenvironmental conditions. In the nematode C. elegans, the presence or absence of foodin the environment affects many metabolic and behavioral ...
-
(2018-11-07)An EGF gradient induces the equipotent C. elegans vulval precursor cells (VPCs) to assume the 3˚-3˚-2˚-1˚-2˚-3˚ pattern of cell fates. EGF triggers the LET-60/Ras-LIN-45/Raf-MEK-2/MEK-MPK-1/ERK canonical MAP kinase cascade ...

(2021-05-03)One of the earliest samples of Caenorhabditis elegans was isolated in Bergerac, France. Early estimates indicated that a Bergerac strain had a high copy-number of the transposable element Tc1 and also displayed diminished ...
