Molecular Tools to Study and Control Dopaminergic Neurotransmission With Light
ABSTRACT Dopaminergic neurotransmission is involved in several important brain functions, such as motor control, learning, reward‐motivated behavior, and emotions. Dysfunctions of dopaminergic system may lead to the development of various neurological and psychiatric disorders, like Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, depression, and addictions ...

Study on soil detritivors and microbial activity in understory of broad-leaved pure and mixed stands in Caspian forests [PDF]
The activity of terrestrial organisms and their populations is an appropriate index for assessing the quality and health of the soil in forest ecosystems, which related to the fertility, and reproduction of the habitat.

Reprograming of proteasomal degradation by branched chain amino acid metabolism
Using genetics and multi‐omics analyses in Caenorhabditis elegans, we identified adaptive regulation of the ubiquitin‐proteasome system (UPS) in response to defective branched chain amino acid (BCAA) metabolism. Worms with impaired BCAA metabolism show slower turnover of a GFP‐based proteasome substrate, which is suppressed by loss‐of‐function of the ...

Across studies, metformin seems to prolong lifespan in nematodes fed a specific bacterial diet but not in mice and may have a larger effect if started early in life. Abstract There is growing interest in the use of metformin to extend lifespan and prevent the onset of age‐related disorders in non‐diabetic individuals.

TinyTiny worms with simple genetics, nematodes have almost everything it takes to be a favored model system to study viral infections. Recent work has shown that the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, long known to enlist innate immune pathways against bacteria, can also muster such resistance to viruses. And because these immune responses function much

Comparative Proteomics of Salinity Stress Responses in Fish and Aquatic Invertebrates
ABSTRACT Fluctuating salinity is symptomatic of climate change challenging aquatic species. The melting of polar ice, rising sea levels, coastal surface and groundwater salinization, and increased evaporation in arid habitats alter salinity worldwide. Moreover, the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events such as rainstorms and floods increase,

GPCR signaling regulates severe stress‐induced organismic death in Caenorhabditis elegans
C. elegans rapidly dies upon the exposure to severe freezing‐thaw stress in a regulated fashion (stress‐induced phenoptosis). Signaling from G‐protein‐coupled receptor FSHR‐1 promotes stress‐induced gene expression and phenoptosis. Findings are of implications to the evolutionary kin selection theory and the disposable soma hypothesis of aging ...
