The use of many psychotropic drugs (PDs) is associated with increased caloric intake, significant weight gain, and metabolic disorders. nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) has been used to study the effects PDs on food intake. However, little known about body fat C. elegans. In elegans, feeding behavior metabolism are regulated through independent mechanisms. This aims evaluate intake ...

Infrared laser as a heat source could induce gene expression by activating promoter genes in Caenorhabditis elegans, previously reported. In this study, we innovatively used 266-nm to irradiate C. elegans for only one second and observed significant inhibition of the overall number eggs laid (P < 0.0001) first day egg laying (P=0.005). This is study establish how light with wavelength can in...

the discovery of rna interference (rnai) in recent years has revolutionized biological and medical research. rnai is the sequence-specific gene silencing triggered by double-stranded rna (dsrna). until a couple of years ago only biologists working with caenorhabditis elegans and plants could use rnai technology to gain insight into gene function……

We investigate how locomotory behavior is generated in the brain focusing on paradigmatic connectome of nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) and neuronal muscular activity patterns that control forward locomotion. map network worm as a multilayer takes into account various neurotransmitters neuropeptides. Using logistic regression analysis, we predict neurons subnetwork. Combining Hindm...

Ratiometric Nanothermometers Organic nanoparticles based on persistent TTM radicals containing excimers and isolated molecules exhibit all characteristics of ratiometric nanothermometers showing excellent temperature sensitivity, reversibility, high colloidal stability. In-vivo experiments made with Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) indicate that they can monitor changes at the (nano)-micron ...

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...
