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 ...

High uric acid model in Caenorhabditis elegans
Food Science and Human Wellness, 2019 To establish experimental high uric acid model in C. elegans. Hypoxanthine, adenine, xanthine, and uric acid were used to treat C. elegans and then hyperuricemic C. elegans was evaluated by allopurinol. Hyperuricemic C. elegans were obtained after normal

Chemosensation in C. elegans [PDF]
WormBook, 2006 C. elegans has a highly developed chemosensory system that enables it to detect a wide variety of volatile (olfactory) and water-soluble (gustatory) cues associated with food, danger, or other animals. Much of its nervous system and more than 5% of its genes are devoted to the recognition of environmental chemicals.

Maintenance of C. elegans [PDF]
WormBook, 1999 Abstract Wild-type and mutant stocks of Caenorhabditis elegans are available from the Caenorhabditis Genetics Center (CGC). C. elegans is easily grown in the laboratory, with stocks routinely maintained on agar-filled Petri plates. However, they can be grown in liquid culture when larger quantities of worms are needed.

Inappropriateness of RNAlater to preserve Caenorhabditis elegans for RNA extraction
MethodsX, 2019 Caenorhabditis elegans is a well-established laboratory animal model and has been widely used in biological research. However, it is still a challenge to obtain a good amount of quality RNA from a limited number of C. elegans for gene expression studies.

WormBook, 2018 The C. elegans tubulin family is composed of nine α-, six β-, and one γ-tubulin. Tubulins are highly conserved, functioning as α-β heterodimers that assemble into microtubules. These cylindrical and ubiquitous components of the cytoskeleton are critical for nearly all cellular and developmental processes. C.
