A team of researchers has identified a mechanism that regulates the production of two different proteins from the same gene.

"C. elegans shares many genes and mechanisms with humans. So, we thought that the cause of the decline in brain function over time in C. elegans may apply to humans." ...

A research team led by Professor Kim Kyuhyung at the Department of Brain Sciences, DGIST, has discovered a new principle that regulates how food moves through the digestive tract and is swallowed.

Research on C. elegans worms could point to new ways to stop tumor cells from metastasizing in humans DURHAM, N.C. -- What makes some cancer cells stay put while others break loose and spread through ...

"Working with C. elegans allows us to perform precise genetic modifications quickly and reproducibly, facilitating the identification of conserved mechanisms in neuronal identity regulation ...

We have engineered C. elegans to express human beta amyloid peptide, which is believed to be central to Alzheimer disease pathology. This expression has clear pathological effects on these ...
