Biology and genome of a newly discovered sibling species of Caenorhabditis elegans
Nature Communications, 2018 Caenorhabditis nematodes are important model organisms. Here, the authors report the biology and genome of Caenorhabditis inopinata, a first sibling species of C. elegans, and develop genetic and molecular techniques for C. inopinata.

Comparative genomics of 10 new Caenorhabditis species
Evolution Letters, 2019 The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has been central to the understanding of metazoan biology. However, C. elegans is but one species among millions and the significance of this important model organism will only be fully revealed if it is placed in a ...

The nutritional requirements of Caenorhabditis elegans [PDF]
Genes & Nutrition, 2019 Animals require sufficient intake of a variety of nutrients to support their development, somatic maintenance and reproduction. An adequate diet provides cell building blocks, chemical energy to drive cellular processes and essential nutrients that ...

Autophagy in Caenorhabditis elegans [PDF]
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Cell Research, 2009 Macroautophagy (or autophagy) is a catabolic process responsible for the degradation of long-lived proteins, molecules and organelles. Cellular stressors such as food limitation, space restriction, oxidative stress, temperature shifts, and accumulation of protein aggregates induce autophagy.

The genome of Caenorhabditis bovis [PDF]
Current Biology, 2019 AbstractThe free-living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is a key laboratory model for metazoan biology. C. elegans is also used as a model for parasitic nematodes despite being only distantly related to most parasitic species. All ∼65 Caenorhabditis species currently in culture are free-living with most having been isolated from decaying plant or ...

Immunosenescence in Caenorhabditis elegans
Immunity & Ageing, 2022 AbstractImmunosenescence is an age-dependent decline in immune functions and hallmark of aging in diverse species, ranging from invertebrates to mammals. However, identifying the factors responsible for immunosenescence is challenging because of the complexity of immune systems and aging in mammals.

Immunometabolism in Caenorhabditis elegans
PLOS Pathogens, 2020 Here, we discuss 5 concepts that have emerged in studies of metabolic and immune interactions in C. elegans. The major emerging theme is that the immune response and the ability to survive pathogen infection is heavily influenced by pathogen-induced changes in host metabolism.
