Prolonged quiescence delays somatic stem cell-like divisions in Caenorhabditis elegans and is controlled by insulin signaling [PDF]
, 2020 Cells can enter quiescence in adverse conditions and resume proliferation when the environment becomes favorable. Prolonged quiescence comes with a cost, reducing the subsequent speed and potential to return to proliferation. Here, we show that a similar

Unusual Functions of Insect Vitellogenins: Minireview
Physiological Research, 2023 Insect vitellogenins are an intriguing class of complex proteins. They primarily serve as a source of energy for the developing embryo in insect eggs. Vitellogenesis is a complex hormonally and neurally controlled process that command synthesis of vitellogenin molecules and ensures their transport from the female fat bodies or ovarial cells into eggs ...

SchussenAktivplus: reduction of micropollutants and of potentially pathogenic bacteria for further water quality improvement of the river Schussen, a tributary of Lake Constance, Germany [PDF]
, 2013 The project focuses on the efficiency of combined technologies to reduce the release of micropollutants and bacteria into surface waters via sewage treatment plants of different size and via stormwater overflow basins of different types. As a model river

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, EarlyView.Abstract Efforts to use transcriptomics for toxicity testing have classically relied on the assumption that chemicals consistently produce characteristic transcriptomic signatures that are reflective of their mechanism of action. However, the degree to which transcriptomic responses are conserved across different test methodologies has seldom been ...

Vertical Transmission of Wolbachia Is Associated With Host Vitellogenin in Laodelphax striatellus
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Wolbachia in host germ lines are essential for their vertical transmission to the next generation. It is unclear how the regulation of host oocyte development influences Wolbachia location and the mechanistic basis of transmission.

A crustacean vitellogenin-derived peptide as an oocyte-specific delivery vehicle for gene silencing
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Gene silencing by dsRNA is well documented in crustaceans, but RNA interference (RNAi) in developing oocytes is yet to be achieved. The main obstacle to RNAi in the oocytes of oviparous animals derives from their protective layers, including the ...

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.This study shows the protective effects of potential probiotic strain of Pediococci strains against diarrheal Escherichia coli strains in Caenorhabditis elegans model system. The E. coli strains resulted in severe morphological and physiological damage to the worm whereas the probiotic interventions were able to reduce these damages.
