A new study discovers a non-repeating genomic master clock led by MYRF-1 and LIN-42 that drives cellular development.

Researchers have developed a new imaging technique to observe active gene expression in real time. They found that four molecules work together to control the timing of each stage of the C. elegans ...

Imagine a train parked at the station. Passengers climb aboard and find their seats. Conductors move up and down the aisles, ...

In a study published in the journal Developmental Cell, a cocktail of pharmaceutical drugs were recently found to extend the life of the microscopic worm, Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans). The ...

Scientists have studied the nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans for decades, making essential contributions to basic science. In the latest milestone, scientists used cutting-edge technology to ...

In 1963, on a hunch, a South African biologist named Sydney Brenner decided to study a species of worms named C. elegans. The worms turned out to be the perfect lab animal. They were simple creatures ...

The centrosome serves as the microtubule-organizing center and plays a critical role in cell division. Centrosomal RNAs (cnRNAs) have been reported to enable precise spatiotemporal control of gene ...

Caenorhabditis elegans grow from larvae to adulthood in three to four days, making the nematodes an ideal model for studying development. Researchers at Duke University found that when C. elegans ...

Caenorhabditis elegans is a species of nematode worm and is frequently chosen as a model organism to study human diseases. Image Credits: Heiti Paves / Shutterstock.com While not as sophisticated as a ...
