An evolutionarily conserved transcriptional response to viral infection in Caenorhabditis nematodes
BMC Genomics, 2017 Background Caenorhabditis elegans is a powerful model organism for probing many biological processes including host-pathogen interactions with bacteria and fungi. The recent identification of nematode viruses that naturally infect C.

Identification of attractive odorants released by preferred bacterial food found in the natural habitats of C. elegans. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Food choice is critical for survival because organisms must choose food that is edible and nutritious and avoid pathogenic food. Many organisms, including the nematode C. elegans, use olfaction to detect and distinguish among food sources. C.

Characterization of aminopeptidase encoding gene anp-1 and its association with development in Caenorhabditis elegans [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Background Aminopeptidases play important roles in various biological processes in nematodes including growth, development and reproduction. Although the aminopeptidases have been shown to regulate reproduction in Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans), the

Multisensory integration in C. elegans [PDF]
Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2017 Multisensory integration is a neural process by which signals from two or more distinct sensory channels are simultaneously processed to form a more coherent representation of the environment. Multisensory integration, especially when combined with a survey of internal states, provides selective advantages for animals navigating complex environments ...

A decline in p38 MAPK signaling underlies immunosenescence in Caenorhabditis elegans. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2011 The decline in immune function with aging, known as immunosenescence, has been implicated in evolutionarily diverse species, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are not understood.

Alternative splicing in C. elegans [PDF]
WormBook, 2005 Alternative splicing is a common mechanism for the generation of multiple isoforms of proteins. It can function to expand the proteome of an organism and can serve as a way to turn off gene expression post-transcriptionally. This review focuses on splicing and its regulation in C. elegans. The fully-sequenced C. elegans genome combined with its elegant

, 2010 Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels represent a superfamily of cation channels found in all eukaryotes. The C. elegans genome encodes seventeen TRP channels covering all of the seven TRP subfamilies. Genetic analyses in C. elegans have implicated TRP channels in a wide spectrum of behavioral and physiological processes, ranging from sensory ...

Ascaroside signaling in C. elegans [PDF]
WormBook, 2013 Over the past 10 years, the relevance of small-molecule signaling for many aspects of C. elegans development and behavior has become apparent. One prominent group of small-molecule signals are the ascarosides, which control dauer entry and exit as well as a variety of sex-specific and social behaviors, including male attraction, hermaphrodite repulsion,

Formation of phosphoglycosides in Caenorhabditis elegans: a novel biotransformation pathway. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BACKGROUND: Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) has become a widely used model to explore the effect of food constituents on health as well as on life-span extension.
