The tardigrade’s unusual body plan and resistance to harsh conditions provide researchers like Bob Goldstein with a creative ...

The researchers sought the simplest method to apply mechanical stress for the microscopic nematode worm model organism C. elegans. They grew animals on a surface created to be four times stiffer ...

This valuable study introduces a self-supervised machine learning method to classify C. elegans postures and behaviors directly from video data, offering an alternative to the skeleton-based ...

My lab investigates how the genome dictates development using C. elegans as a model. Stunning movies captured in the lab of computational biologist Zhirong Bao reveal how cells divide, grow, and move ...

Schematic of the head of an aged C. elegans in which hyperactive neurons interfere with proper migration to the previous culture temperature Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible ...

Showing that the popular model system C. elegans could be used to screen small molecules for amyloid binders is an exciting breakthrough in the pursuit of treatments for diseases linked to amyloids.

On Thursday April 1, the Department of Biology hosted Niels Ringstad, professor in the Department of Cell Biology at the New ...

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 ...

We use the short-lived model organism C. elegans, which shares many aging traits, including deficits in learning and memory, with humans to study this problem. The lab uses an interdisciplinary ...

Since the output of body fluids such as urine is a reflection of our body condition, Hirotsu speculated that it might be possible to use C. elegans to sense the smell of cancer. And it turned out ...
