A new discovery provides a unique example of sexual dimorphism in the structure of a single neuron, which is linked to ...

People spend about a third of their lives asleep. Yet, surprisingly little is known about how our brains control falling asleep and waking up. Now, researchers led by Prof. Henrik Bringmann at the ...

Learn how this species of worm detects death, resulting in a range of behavioral and physiological responses.

A new study published in Physical Review Letters has introduced a new form of the classic Ising model that, by incorporating ...

Complex traits are influenced by genes and the environment, but especially the latter is difficult to pin down. This important study uses C. elegans to demonstrate that non-genetic differences in gene ...

which demonstrated for the first time that microRNA was involved in gene regulation in the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans – a finding that the Nobel Prize committee has said was "initially met ...

Consequently, model organisms like Caenorhabditis elegans have become invaluable for exploring these conserved cellular mechanisms. C. elegans, with its short life cycle, transparency, and genetic ...

One key aspect of cold adaptation is the global downregulation of protein synthesis. Studying it in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, we find that the translation of most mRNAs continues in the ...

Research reveals that for C. elegans worms, the presence of dead members of their species has profound behavioral and physiological effects, leading them to more quickly reproduce and shortening their ...
