Worms, Life and Death
نویسندگان
چکیده
I never expected to spend most of my life studying worms. However, when it came time for me to choose an area for my postdoctoral research, I was intrigued both with the problems of neurobiology and with the approaches of genetics. Having heard that a new “genetic organism” with a remarkably simple nervous system was being explored by Sydney Brenner – the microscopic soil nematode Caenorhabditis elegans – I decided to join Sydney in his efforts.

The New Method Developed for Evaluation of Anthelmintic Activity by Housefly Worms and Compared with Conventional Earthworm Method
Evaluation of anthelmintic activity of any drug when carried out in laboratory conditions by using the isolated worms from nature cannot be adaptable with artificial laboratory conditions. Therefore, the present study aims at developing a new adaptable method for evaluation of anthelmintic activity. The present anthelmintic activity study reveals a new methodology with housefly worms cultured i...

متن کاملNon-linear impact of glutathione depletion on C. elegans life span and stress resistance
The redox environment in cells and organisms is set by low-molecular mass and protein-bound thiols, with glutathione (GSH) representing a major intracellular redox buffer. Subtle thiol oxidation elicits signal transduction processes and adaptive responses to cope with stressors, whereas highly oxidizing conditions may provoke cell death. We here tested how thiol depletion affects life span, str...
متن کاملNatural history of Schistosoma mansoni infection in mice: egg production, egg passage in the feces, and contribution of host and parasite death to changes in worm numbers.
Mice, C57Bl/6N (B6) and BALB/cAnN (BALB), infected with Schistosoma mansoni were examined 8-26 weeks postinfection (PI) to estimate the fecundity of the worms and the contribution of death of worms and the death of heavily infected mice to the decrease in worm numbers in chronic infections. Portal worms were recovered by perfusion and the lungs were examined for parasites shunted from the porta...
