The worm has turned--microbial virulence modeled in Caenorhabditis elegans.
The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is emerging as a facile and economical model host for the study of evolutionarily conserved mechanisms of microbial pathogenesis and innate immunity. A rapidly growing number of human and animal microbial pathogens have been shown to injure and kill nematodes. In many cases, microbial genes known to be important for full virulence in mammalian models have bee...
متن کاملAge-specific nuclear proteins in the nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans.
The nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans is known to undergo characteristic morphological as well as physiological signs of senescence. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis shows that alterations also occur in the pattern of the nuclear proteins as a function of age. Non-histone proteins whose level exhibits a steep fall with age are egg-specific and not involved in senescence. However, a distin...
متن کاملChemistry and the worm: Caenorhabditis elegans as a platform for integrating chemical and biological research.
This Review discusses the potential usefulness of the worm Caenorhabditis elegans as a model organism for chemists interested in studying living systems. C. elegans, a 1 mm long roundworm, is a popular model organism in almost all areas of modern biology. The worm has several features that make it attractive for biology: it is small (<1000 cells), transparent, and genetically tractable. Despite...
متن کاملCadherins and their partners in the nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans.
The extreme simplicity of Caenorhabditis elegans makes it an ideal system to study the basic principles of cadherin function at the level of single cells within the physiologically relevant context of a developing animal. The genetic tractability of C. elegans also means that components of cadherin complexes can be identified through genetic modifier screens, allowing a comprehensive in vivo ch...
متن کاملMicrofluidic Devices in Advanced Caenorhabditis elegans Research.
The study of model organisms is very important in view of their potential for application to human therapeutic uses. One such model organism is the nematode worm, Caenorhabditis elegans. As a nematode, C. elegans have ~65% similarity with human disease genes and, therefore, studies on C. elegans can be translated to human, as well as, C. elegans can be used in the study of different types of pa...
