Metastatic cancer is associated with a loss of regulation over invasive activity. Recently, a C. elegans model system for studying cell invasiveness was developed (Sherwood and Sternberg ...

The early notion that cancer is the result of mutations ... Here, we discuss genomic approaches in the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans, aimed to identify genes and genetic networks that ...

Now those worms, Caenorhabditis elegans, are being used to understand the influence of cancer mutations on those networks, report researchers at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC ...

Symmetry is a fundamental characteristic of most multi-cell animals. However, the cell division of embryonic cells is ...

If DNA bridges persist between chromosomes during cell division, chromosomes are abnormally segregated, leading to genetic ...

elegans system coupled with the capacity to readily incorporate more than 1 mutated allele in a single animal make this model ideal for asking questions ... MO and Kolesnick, R. Caenorhabditis elegans ...

This work has identified and characterized the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) as a model of the disease, this model is deficient for the human analog protein (homologous ...
