High uric acid model in Caenorhabditis elegans
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

Maintenance of C. elegans [PDF]
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.

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]
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.

Transposons in C. elegans [PDF]
Transposons are discrete segments of DNA capable of moving through the genome of their host via an RNA intermediate in the case of class I retrotransposon or via a "cut-and-paste" mechanism for class II DNA transposons. Since transposons take advantage of their host's cellular machinery to proliferate in the genome and enter new hosts, transposable ...

Actomyosin-based Self-organization of cell internalization during C. elegans gastrulation [PDF]
Background: Gastrulation is a key transition in embryogenesis; it requires self-organized cellular coordination, which has to be both robust to allow efficient development and plastic to provide adaptability. Despite the conservation of gastrulation as a

Soil nematode Caenorhabditis elegans Maupas as a convenient model organism to study anthelmintic activity of plant extracts [PDF]
The article deals with the study of the possibility to use free-living soil nematode C. elegans in researches of anthelmintic activity of plant raw material. A. sativum juice and aqueous extract of T. vulgare flowers were used in experiments. It is shown

Chemosensation in C. elegans [PDF]
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.
