Scientists have identified synergistic cellular pathways for longevity that amplify lifespan fivefold in C. elegans, a nematode worm used as a model in aging research. The increase in lifespan would ...

An enzyme-blocking molecule can extend the lifespan of Caenorhabditis elegans roundworms by as much as 45 percent, largely by modulating a cannabinoid biological pathway, according to a new study. An ...

Recently, researchers from the MDI Biological Laboratory, the Buck Institute for Research and Aging and Nanjing University rocked the medical world when they announced they identified pathways in a ...

Formation of the dauer diapause stage in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has been the subject of intensive study over the past few decades. Recent work has established the chemical structure of ...

In the nematode Caernorhabditis elegans, mutations in genes that are required for sensory transduction can dramatically extend lifespan. Writing in Neuron, Alcedo and Kenyon use laser ablation of ...

Scientists at the MDI Biological Laboratory, in collaboration with scientists from the Buck Institute for Research on Aging in Novato, Calif., and Nanjing University in China, have identified ...

HOUSTON – (April 4, 2006) – When the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has enough to eat, enjoys the right temperatures and is not crowded out by its fellows, it produces a hormone, which binds to a ...
