Assembly of the Caenorhabditis elegans gut microbiota from diverse soil microbial environments
The ISME Journal, 2016 It is now well accepted that the gut microbiota contributes to our health. However, what determines the microbiota composition is still unclear. Whereas it might be expected that the intestinal niche would be dominant in shaping the microbiota, studies ...

Neurogenesis in the Nematode Caenorhabditis elegans* [PDF]
WormBook, 2010 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 ...

Alu Overexpression Leads to an Increased Double‐stranded RNA Signature in Dermatomyositis
Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.Objective Dermatomyositis is an autoimmune condition characterized by a high interferon signature of unknown etiology. Because coding sequences constitute <1.2% of our genomes, there is a need to explore the role of the non‐coding genome in disease pathogenesis.

fog-2 and the evolution of self-fertile hermaphroditism in Caenorhabditis.
PLoS Biology, 2005 Somatic and germline sex determination pathways have diverged significantly in animals, making comparisons between taxa difficult. To overcome this difficulty, we compared the genes in the germline sex determination pathways of Caenorhabditis elegans and

Chemistry – An Asian Journal, EarlyView.This review explores the photophysical behavior and bioimaging applications of luminescent benzoselenadiazole (BSD) derivatives, in comparison with benzothiadiazole (BTD) analogues. Emerging trends highlight BSDs as promising tools in advanced phototechnology.

Purple pitanga extract and loaded liposomes effects in a tumorous Caenorhabditis elegans model
Journal of Agriculture and Food ResearchThe Purple Pitanga Extract (PPE) demonstrated apoptotic and anti-cancer effects in previous studies with cells. Therefore, the investigation of specific pathways involved in the development of cancer using in vivo models is necessary.

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.

CeNDR, the Caenorhabditis elegans natural diversity resource
Nucleic Acids Res., 2016 Studies in model organisms have yielded considerable insights into the etiology of disease and our understanding of evolutionary processes. Caenorhabditis elegans is among the most powerful model organisms used to understand biology. However, C.

Promising Prodiginins Biological Activities
Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Prodiginins are a large family of at least 34 pyrrolic compounds, including the well‐studied red pigment prodigiosin. Prodiginins are produced by several microorganisms displaying broad biological activities, including antimicrobial, antiviral, antiparasitic, antiproliferative, and immunosuppressive activities.

Symmetry breakage in the development of one-armed gonads in nematodes [PDF]
, 1996 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).
