An international team led by researchers at the University of Toronto has developed an efficient and robust system, using the C. elegans nematode, to screen for compounds that can stop the growth of ...

Researchers model and map how neurons across the tiny brain of a C. elegans worm encode its behaviors, revealing many new insights about the robustness and flexibility of its nervous system. To ...

A probiotic bacterium called Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus HA-114 prevents neurodegeneration in the C. elegans worm, an animal model used to study amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). That's the ...

This valuable study identifies a novel regulator of stress-induced gene quiescence in C. elegans: the multi-Zinc-finger protein ZNF-236. The work provides evidence for an active mechanism that ...

New study reveals how microalgae extracts and phytoene combat aging, protect against Alzheimer’s toxicity, and extend lifespan. Study: Phytoene and Phytoene-Rich Microalgae Extracts Extend Lifespan in ...
