Zebrafish and CRISPR—A synergistic approach to decipher and cure human diseases

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Zebrafish, with high genetic homology to humans, serves as a powerful vertebrate model for disease modeling and drug discovery. Integration of CRISPR/Cas9 technology enables precise genome editing, facilitating the development of translational models for human diseases.

The ecological genetics of senescence and stress resistance in Caenorhabditis elegans [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Longevity and the rate of senescence are determined by the ecological conditions during a population's recent evolutionary history, and are intrinsically linked to other components of life history and to fitness.

Molecular mechanisms of forgetting in caenorhabditis elegans [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
A plastic nervous system requires not only the ability to acquire and store but also to forget. Here we report that musashi (msi-1) is necessary for time-dependent memory loss in C. elegans.

Animal models in molecular biology research: Challenges, ethical imperatives, and the path to human‐relevant translation

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract shows how molecular biology research has shifted from using traditional animal models toward using methods that are more relevant to humans. It points out the main problems, differences between species, difficulty in reproducing results, moral issues, and lack of infrastructure that make translational accuracy harder to achieve ...

NECROTIC NEURODEGENERATION IN CAENORHABDITIS ELEGANS

open access: yesTheScientificWorldJOURNAL, 2001
Necrosis plays a central role in neuronal injury associated with stroke and ischemia. Unlike apoptotic cell death, little is understood of molecular mechanisms of necrosis. The two distinct forms of cell death, necrosis and apoptosis, are easily distinguishable by morphological characteristics in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans.

Therapeutic Applications of Stimuli‐Based Release and Engineering of Extracellular Vesicles

open access: yesAdvanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
This review summarizes the effects of endogenous and exogenous stimuli, their effects on the natural release of extracellular vesicles, as well as their uptake and release. It also gives an overview of stimuli‐responsive EVs and their therapeutic applications. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), nano‐ to microsized lipid bilayer membrane‐bound particles, are

Biochemical analysis of Caenorhabditis elegans surface mutants

open access: yes, 1997
A collection of Caenorhabditis elegans mutants that show ectopic surface lectin binding (Srf mutants) was analyzed to determine the biochemical basis for this phenotype. This analysis involved selective removal or labeling of surface components, specific

Global proteomics analysis of the response to starvation in C. elegans [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Periodic starvation of animals induces large shifts in metabolism, but may also influence many other cellular systems and can lead to adaption to prolonged starvation conditions.

The Role of miRNAs in Chicken Immune Regulation and Prospects for Disease‐Resistant Breeding

open access: yesAnimal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
A schematic workflow illustrating the screening of disease‐resistant miRNAs and the generation of miRNA‐based disease‐resistant chickens via PGC‐mediated germline genome editing. ABSTRACT MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are emerging as pivotal regulators of the immune system, playing a decisive role in shaping disease resistance in chicken.

The Multilayer Connectome of Caenorhabditis elegans

open access: yesPLOS Computational Biology, 2016
Connectomics has focused primarily on the mapping of synaptic links in the brain; yet it is well established that extrasynaptic volume transmission, especially via monoamines and neuropeptides, is also critical to brain function and occurs primarily outside the synaptic connectome.
