Mathematical Models of the Developing C. elegans Hermaphrodite Gonad [PDF]
, 2006 The study of growing and developing organisms is a fascinating branch of experimental biology. Once created, cells must exchange chemical and physical cues with neighboring cells in order to grow, divide, and differentiate properly.

The C. elegans intestine [PDF]
WormBook, 2007 The intestine is one of the major organs in C. elegans and is largely responsible for food digestion and assimilation as well as the synthesis and storage of macromolecules. In addition, the intestine is emerging as a powerful experimental system in which to study such universal biological phenomena as vesicular trafficking, biochemical clocks, stress ...

Developmental Cell, 2003 To gain insights into the genetic cascades that regulate fat biology, we evaluated C. elegans as an appropriate model organism. We generated worms that lack two transcription factors, SREBP and C/EBP, crucial for formation of mammalian fat. Worms deficient in either of these genes displayed a lipid-depleted phenotype-pale, skinny, larval-arrested worms

A Small Conductance Calcium-Activated K+ Channel in C. elegans, KCNL-2, Plays a Role in the Regulation of the Rate of Egg-Laying [PDF]
, 2013 In the nervous system of mice, small conductance calcium-activated potassium (SK) channels function to regulate neuronal excitability through the generation of a component of the medium afterhyperpolarization that follows action potentials.

Microbial light-activatable proton pumps as neuronal inhibitors to functionally dissect neuronal networks in C. elegans [PDF]
, 2012 Essentially any behavior in simple and complex animals depends on neuronal network function. Currently, the best-defined system to study neuronal circuits is the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, as the connectivity of its 302 neurons is exactly known ...

Regulation of the maternal-to-embryonic transition in "C. elegans" [PDF]
, 2012 Reproduction is a fundamental process of life which allows the survival of each species through the birth of young species members. Several modes of reproduction evolved and are classified into sexual and asexual reproduction.
