Caenorhabditis elegans as a model for obesity research

Current Research in Food Science, 2021
Caenorhabditis elegans, a free-living nematode, is an animal model that has been extensively employed in a variety of research fields, including in the study of obesity. Its favorable features include its compact size, short life cycle, large brood size,

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.

The compact genome of Caenorhabditis niphades n. sp., isolated from a wood-boring weevil, Niphades variegatus

BMC Genomics, 2022
Background The first metazoan genome sequenced, that of Caenorhabditis elegans, has motivated animal genome evolution studies. To date > 50 species from the genus Caenorhabditis have been sequenced, allowing research on genome variation.

Patterns of nucleotide polymorphism distinguish temperate and tropical wild isolates of Caenorhabditis briggsae [PDF]

, 2006
Caenorhabditis briggsae provides a natural comparison species for the model nematode C. elegans, given their similar morphology, life history, and hermaphroditic mode of reproduction. Despite C.

Decoding a neural circuit controlling global animal state in C. elegans

eLife, 2015
Brains organize behavior and physiology to optimize the response to threats or opportunities. We dissect how 21% O2, an indicator of surface exposure, reprograms C.

A conserved metalloprotease mediates ecdysis in Caenorhabditis elegans [PDF]

, 2004
Molting is required for progression between larval stages in the life cycle of nematodes. We have identified four mutant alleles of a <i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i> metalloprotease gene, <i>nas-37</i>, that cause incomplete ...

Globins in Caenorhabditis elegans

IUBMB Life, 2011
AbstractExtensive in silico search of the genome of Caenorhabditis elegans revealed the presence of 33 genes coding for globins that are all transcribed. These globins are very diverse in gene and protein structure and are localized in a variety of cells, mostly neurons. The large number of C.

Deep sampling of Hawaiian Caenorhabditis elegans reveals high genetic diversity and admixture with global populations

eLife, 2019
Hawaiian isolates of the nematode species Caenorhabditis elegans have long been known to harbor genetic diversity greater than the rest of the worldwide population, but this observation was supported by only a small number of wild strains.

Additional description and genome analyses of Caenorhabditis auriculariae representing the basal lineage of genus Caenorhabditis

Scientific Reports, 2021
Caenorhabditis auriculariae, which was morphologically described in 1999, was re-isolated from a Platydema mushroom-associated beetle. Based on the re-isolated materials, some morphological characteristics were re-examined and ascribed to the species. In
