Schematic representation of the design. Tryptophan metabolism is enriched in serum metabolites and gut microbiota of centenarians, potentially contributing to healthy longevity. A key tryptophan metabolite 5‐methoxyindoleacetic acid (5‐MIAA) is linked to the Christensenellaceae R‐7 group and exhibits effects of delaying cell senescence, promoting ...

Mid‐IR Imaging Can Detect Waste Heat Production in the Nematode Caenorhabditis elegans
This study explores how the ectothermic invertebrate Caenorhabditis elegans produces waste heat during metabolism using thermal infrared imaging. A new imaging technique was developed to clearly show differences in heat output between living and dead worms.

Symmetry breakage in the development of one-armed gonads in nematodes [PDF]
Whereas the hermaphrodite gonad of Caenorhabditis elegans has two symmetric arms (didelphy), the female/hermaphrodite gonad of many nematode species features a single anterior arm (monodelphy).

Organogenesis of the Caenorhabditis elegans Intestine
The intestine of Caenorhabditis elegans is an epithelial tube consisting of only 20 cells and is derived clonally from a single embryonic blastomere called E. We describe the cellular events that shape the intestine. These events include cytoplasmic polarization of cells in the intestinal primordium, the intercalation of specific sets of cells, the ...

Noncanonical Nucleotides in the Genome Around the Maternal‐Zygotic Transition
In this paper, Kazzazi et al. provide a comprehensive review of the dynamics of nonconventional nucleotides in the genome during early developmental stages, hypothesizing a potential role for these nucleotides in the activation of the zygotic genome. ABSTRACT From the very moment of fertilization and throughout development, the cells of animal embryos ...

Nucleologenesis in the Caenorhabditis elegans Embryo
In the Caenorhabditis elegans nematode, the oocyte nucleolus disappears prior to fertilization. We have now investigated the re-formation of the nucleolus in the early embryo of this model organism by immunostaining for fibrillarin and DAO-5, a putative NOLC1/Nopp140 homolog involved in ribosome assembly.

Despite lacking DNMT3, EM‐seq revealed CpG methylation in the Colorado potato beetle. CUT&Tag analysis showed an association of H3K36me3 and H3K27ac with transcription, with H3K36me3 mirroring CpG methylation, demonstrating epigenetic flexibility.

Untwisting the Caenorhabditis elegans embryo
The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans possesses a simple embryonic nervous system with few enough neurons that the growth of each cell could be followed to provide a systems-level view of development. However, studies of single cell development have largely been conducted in fixed or pre-twitching live embryos, because of technical difficulties ...

Light‐Activated Pharmacological Tools for Exploring the Cholinergic System
ABSTRACT Cholinergic transmission plays a critical role in both the central and peripheral nervous systems, affecting processes such as learning, memory, and inflammation. Conventional cholinergic drugs generally suffer from poor selectivity and temporal precision, leading to undesired effects and limited therapeutic efficacy. Photopharmacology aims to

Neurogenesis in the Nematode Caenorhabditis elegans* [PDF]
The nervous system represents the most complex tissue of C. elegans both in terms of numbers (302 neurons and 56 glial cells = 37% of the somatic cells in a hermaphrodite) and diversity (118 morphologically distinct neuron classes). The lineage and morphology of each neuron type has been described in detail and neuronal fate markers exists for ...
