Caenorhabditis elegans is a nematode.
Caenorhabditis elegans is a rhabditid nematode. What relevance does this have for the interpretation of the complete genome sequence, and how will it affect the exploitation of the sequence for scientific and social ends? Nematodes are only distantly related to humans and other animal groups; will this limit the universality of the C. elegans story? Many nematodes are parasites; can knowledge o...
متن کاملCaenorhabditis elegans: A Simple Nematode Infection Model for Penicillium marneffei
Penicillium marneffei, one of the most important thermal dimorphic fungi, is a severe threat to the life of immunocompromised patients. However, the pathogenic mechanisms of P. marneffei remain largely unknown. In this work, we developed a model host by using nematode Caenorhabditis elegans to investigate the virulence of P. marneffei. Using two P. marneffei clinical isolate strains 570 and 486...
متن کاملThe Nematode Caenorhabditis elegans: Oxidative Stress and Aging in the Nematode Caenorhabditis elegans
The senescent decline that leads inevitably to death in most animal species is accompanied by a massive increase in molecular damage. Yet, the chain of events that initially causes this process, and the determinants of the rate at which it happens, remain poorly understood. For many years, much research on this topic has been guided by an interrelated set of theories that view oxidative damage ...
متن کاملReimagining pheromone signalling in the model nematode Caenorhabditis elegans
Overview Caenorhabditis elegans is an important, widely used developmental and genetic model. A pheromone has long been known to cause juvenile developmental arrest in C. elegans, a phenomenon that is common among nematodes more widely. Many novel effects of this pheromone are now being discovered—most recently, that exogenous supply of this pheromone controls adult worms reproduction. Here, we...
متن کاملNeurogenesis in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans.
The nervous system represents the most complex tissue of C. elegans both in terms of numbers (302 neurons and 56 glial cells = 37% of the somatic cells in a hermaphrodite) and diversity (118 morphologically distinct neuron classes). The lineage and morphology of each neuron type has been described in detail and neuronal fate markers exists for virtually all neurons in the form of fluorescent re...
