Paving the Way to Elucidate Hg's Role in Tumorigenesis
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Tumorigenesis can result from diverse environmental carcinogens. Among them, mercury—a lifelong bioaccumulative Group 2B carcinogen—has tumorigenic potential that remains poorly understood due to confounding co‐exposures and limited organ‐specific data.

Innate Immunity in C. elegans [PDF]
, 2010 The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is proving to be a powerful invertebrate model to study host-pathogen interactions. In common with other invertebrates, C. elegans relies solely on its innate immune system to defend itself against pathogens. Studies of the nematode response to infection with various fungal and bacterial pathogens have revealed that ...

Selenite enhances immune response against Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA14 via SKN-1 in Caenorhabditis elegans. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Selenium (Se) is an important nutrient that carries out many biological processes including maintaining optimal immune function. Here, inorganic selenite (Se(IV)) was evaluated for its pathogen resistance and potential-associated factors in ...

Caenorhabditis elegans and probiotics interactions from a prolongevity perspective [PDF]
, 2019 Probiotics exert beneficial effects on host health through different mechanisms of action, such as production of antimicrobial substances, competition with pathogens, enhancement of host mucosal barrier integrity and immunomodulation.

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.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.We uncover a large variety of putative inhibitory ligand‐gated ion channels (LGICs) in the phylum Cnidaria, the sister group to all bilaterian animals. Phylogenetic analysis suggests a complex evolutionary history of inhibitory LGICs with diverse neurotransmitter ligands.

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.

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

Characterization of the Ca2+-gated and voltage-dependent k+-channel slo-1 of nematodes and its interaction with emodepside [PDF]
, 2014 The cyclooctadepsipeptide emodepside and its parent compound PF1022A are broad-spectrum nematicidal drugs which are able to eliminate nematodes resistant to other anthelmintics.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.In this study, the orange‐muscle giant abalone (Haliotis gigantea) is used as a model to identify a non‐coding SNP that disrupts the interaction between ITGA8 pre‐mRNA and the splicing factor ILF2, leading to altered ITGA8 splicing. These splicing changes promote carotenoid accumulation in abalone muscle through the regulation of tissue remodeling ...
