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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The focus of the new study was to identify specific genes regulated by daf-16 which affect cancer and/or lifespan. The scientists used an established tumor model in the worms. Then, starting with a ...

FENG Xuezhu from the First Affiliated Hospital of USTC, revealed the nucleolar RNA interference based on Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) as a model organism. The study was published in Nuclear ...

elegans is “an experimental dream,” said one scientist. A staple in laboratories worldwide, C. elegans is “an experimental dream,” said one scientist. Caenorhabditis elegans, one ...
