The Natural Biotic Environment of Caenorhabditis elegans
Organisms evolve in response to their natural environment. Consideration of natural ecological parameters are thus of key importance for our understanding of an organism's biology. Curiously, the natural ecology of the model species Caenorhabditis elegans has long been neglected, even though this nematode has become one of the most intensively studied models in biological research. This lack of...
متن کاملThe natural history of Caenorhabditis elegans
Does Hydra have an associated microbiome? Yes, it does. Like the human gut, Hydra is home to an array of bacterial residents. The composition of the microbiome for a particular strain of Hydra seems to be quite stable. How the microbiome is maintained and what it contributes to the host are important questions that are starting to be addressed. Hydra is a much simpler model for studying host/mi...
متن کاملCeNDR, the Caenorhabditis elegans natural diversity resource
Studies in model organisms have yielded considerable insights into the etiology of disease and our understanding of evolutionary processes. Caenorhabditis elegans is among the most powerful model organisms used to understand biology. However, C. elegans is not used as extensively as other model organisms to investigate how natural variation shapes traits, especially through the use of genome-wi...
متن کاملMicrosporidia Are Natural Intracellular Parasites of the Nematode Caenorhabditis elegans
For decades the soil nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has been an important model system for biology, but little is known about its natural ecology. Recently, C. elegans has become the focus of studies of innate immunity and several pathogens have been shown to cause lethal intestinal infections in C. elegans. However none of these pathogens has been shown to invade nematode intestinal cells, an...
متن کاملTocotrienol Modulates the Expression of Proteins in Oxidative Stress-Induced Caenorhabditis Elegans
Objective: Oxidative stress that damages proteins result in aging and age related diseases. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of tocotrienol rich fraction (TRF) on the expression of proteins in oxidative stress-induced caenohabditis elegans (C.elegans) which has homologous genes to humans. Methods: The worms were treated with TRF prior to, after and continuously in separate group...
