Manual injection, which remains low-throughput and labor-intensive, is a technical bottleneck for large-scale genetic studies of C. elegans. Here, the authors report a robotic microinjection ...

The nematode C. elegans is widely used for research in cell and developmental biology and as a model system to study human diseases. This research animal model enjoys particular popularity because ...

In 1963, on a hunch, a South African biologist named Sydney Brenner decided to study a species of worms named C. elegans. The worms turned out to be the perfect lab animal. They were simple ...

And they don't come simpler than C. elegans, a worm whose basic brain of only 302 neurons has been digitized. Now researchers have taught this virtual worm a new trick, without writing a single ...

A study conducted in C. elegans nematode roundworms may lead to improved treatment of a rare human genetic disorder that causes severe neurological symptoms leading to death in early childhood.

A new research paper titled "Antibiotics that target mitochondria extend lifespan in C. elegans" has been published in Aging. Aging is a continuous degenerative process caused by a progressive ...

Aging-US published "Sulforaphane promotes C. elegans longevity and healthspan via DAF- 16/DAF-2 insulin/IGF-1 signaling" which reported that the broccoli-derived isothiocyanate sulforaphane ...

The goal was to create a wiring diagram—a map of all 302 neurons in the C. elegans nervous system as well as all the 7,000 connections, or synapses, between those neurons. In 1986 the scientists ...

A staple in laboratories worldwide, C. elegans is “an experimental dream,” said one scientist. A staple in laboratories worldwide, C. elegans is “an experimental dream,” said one scientist.
