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 genome of Caenorhabditis elegans. [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1995 The physical map of the 100-Mb Caenorhabditis elegans genome consists of 17,500 cosmids and 3500 yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs). A total of 22.5 Mb has been sequenced, with the remainder expected by 1998. A further 15.5 Mb of unfinished sequence is freely available online: because the areas sequenced so far are relatively gene rich, about half the

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

Reproductive Span of Caenorhabditis elegans Is Extended by Microbacterium sp.
Journal of Nematology, 2022 The reproductive span (RS) of organisms could be affected by different factors during their lifetime. In the model nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans, RS is affected by both genetic and environmental factors.

Oogenesis in Caenorhabditis elegans
Sexual Development, 2023 Background: The nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans has proven itself as a valuable model for investigating metazoan biology. C. elegans have a transparent body, an invariant cell lineage, and a high level of genetic conservation which makes it a desirable model organism.

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Dynamin 1 is a GTPase protein involved in synaptic vesicle fission, which facilitates the exocytosis of neurotransmitters necessary for normal signaling. Pathogenic variants in the DNM1 gene are associated with intractable epilepsy, often manifested as infantile spasms at onset, developmental delay, and a movement disorder, and are located in ...
